| Course Description: | The Las Vegas Backcountry Trail Races take place in the Rainbow Gardens ACEC (Area of Critical Environmental Concern). Rainbow Gardens ACEC contains a scenic mountain and canyon landscape similar to those found in more remote locations of southern Nevada, but unique in its close proximity to the city, allowing people a wilderness experience close to home. Terrain is mostly packed dirt roads, making for an easy transition for pavement runners. | |
| Start Time: | 7:00am++ | |
| Course Highlights: | Rainbow Gardens ACEC contains natural, geological, and wildlife wonders in this gorgeous color country area! The ACEC protects a portion of this habitat by designating specific routes of previously disturbed lands to explore the area. The Las Vegas Backcountry Trail Races utilize some of these designated routes bringing you a sensational wilderness experience just footsteps from Las Vegas! | |

 "Fastest trail marathon or 50k in Las Vegas" (about: 2015)
50+ previous marathons
| 1 Las Vegas Backcountry Trail Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 I ran the 50K which included 25 miles of the marathon. The course is mostly packed dirt road and very runnable. I have run other races by this company, all well organized with a smallish (20-40 runners per distance) field. 1 star for spectators since the course is in the backcountry. 5 stars for scenery. The volunteers were great as were the aid stations. Bring a water bottle. |
