Devil After Dark is a unique marathon due to its location, course and timing.
It is a small race with less than 50 runners.

You start at the entrance to Lovell Canyon in the Spring Mountains, West of Las Vegas. The start is just before the sunset in a hot evening (~30C) followed by long run uphill with a single steep downhill section (about 1 mile long). You run on a pavement and after the sunset the race becomes a marathon of ghosts with headlamps and reflective clothes. The late evening part was rather chilly (~5C). Way beyond the half way turning point the 1-mile long hill became a steep mountain. From now on it was a long downhill run to the distant finish.

Finish was rewarding: medal from the Race Director, hot meal, snacks and drinks.

This is not the race to find your PR, just an unusual and beautiful event to remember.

Final word: thanks to all volunteers who did an excellent job in the dark and chilly night.
