About the race
ET Full Moon is a series of night time road races held in Rachel, Nevada, along Highway 375 (the Extraterrestrial Highway) near Area 51. All distances start and finish in Rachel on the frontage road near the Alien Cowpoke General Store. The event uses out-and-back courses along the highway and takes place in the high desert with elevations roughly between 4,000 and 5,600 feet. Rachel is generally about 15 degrees cooler than the Las Vegas Valley and nighttime temperatures in August are often in the 60s.
Distances include:
- 51K
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
Aid stations are positioned along each course and will provide water and Gatorade in cups; aid stations will also refill personal bottles. Stations marked "T" have toilets; stations designated "U" or "ultra" include basic first aid, ice, cooling buckets, and additional provisions. The event does not permit pacers. Crew and spectators may gather at the start/finish area, but food and aid station provisions are intended for registered participants and there are no concessions on site. Drop bags are allowed near the start/finish area but are not guarded.
Runners are required to wear a 360 degree reflective vest and carry a handheld flashlight or headlamp. All finishers receive a medal; overall and age group awards are given by gun time, and there is a costume award inspired by the race theme.
