Red Rock Canyon Ultra
The event takes place in the Red Rock National Conservation Area near Blue Diamond, Nevada, just outside Las Vegas. It offers multiple trail distances that run through Red Rock and Cottonwood Valley and finish in the town of Blue Diamond.
- 100K
- 50K
- 17K
The courses route runners from the Red Rock visitor area and through ancient Aztec sandstone canyons and washes, across quarry areas, and around limestone formations described as millions of years old. The 100K course spans the full extent of Red Rock and Cottonwood Valley and reaches the base of a feature called Satan's Escalator before finishing in Blue Diamond. Course maps are provided for each distance.
Support is arranged differently by distance. Aid stations and crew access are listed at specific mile locations for the 50K and 100K; the 17K does not have an aid station, so participants must carry their own water. Drop bag and crew access locations include South Oak Creek, Blue Diamond, Late Night, and Red Valley with designated pacer pickup points for the 100K. Parking for 50K and 100K uses a remote event lot; 17K participants and spectators may park at the Blue Diamond start area. Shuttle service is provided for the longer distances with limited capacity. Packet pickup is scheduled the Friday before the race at CraftHaus Downtown. Registration closes on November 13 at 11:59 PM PT. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
