All distances start and finish in Rachel, NV. Courses are true out and back routes along Highway 375 and traverse high desert terrain with elevations roughly between 4,770 and 5,876 feet. Runners will encounter desert vegetation, surrounding mountains, and open vistas; Rachel is noted to be cooler than the Las Vegas Valley.
Aid stations provide water and Gatorade in cups and can refill bottles. Aid stations labeled ultra offer additional supplies such as basic first aid, ice, cooling buckets, and provisions. Many aid stations include toilets. There are no pacers and crew or spectators may gather at the start and finish area. Drop bags are allowed at a designated unguarded area near the start and finish.
Required equipment includes a 360 degree reflective vest and a handheld flashlight or headlamp; glow bracelets will be provided. Race entries include a technical shirt, finisher medal, post race food, aid stations, and award eligibility; shirts are not guaranteed for very late registrations. The event is on open roads so runners must follow the marked course, no pets are allowed, and littering may lead to disqualification. Time limits vary by distance, with longer events having up to an eight hour cutoff. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
