Running With The Devil Marathon

This event was a real 'Race with the Devil'. It was hot: 27C (81F) at start and 41C (106F) at the finish line at high noon. The course was out and back along Lovell Canyon with a double loop near the half-way mark. Pavement all the way and clear sky with almost no trees to offer a shadow. There were many hills with one steep, long section in the middle of the road. The water stations and volunteers were high above average: there was ice and ice-cold water, drinks and high energy snacks. In summery it was a small size event which gave me huge satisfaction. Thank you!

What a great marathon. The course is awesome and beautiful. There is one hard hill at mile 20 to give you a reality check. Joyce, the race director is wonderful. 45 minutes from Las Vegas, with great vegetation, (trees, desert, huge views. Wonderful volunteers.

I've run this course 3 times but this was my first time at Running with the Devil. It is a challenging out (uphill) and back (downhill) course, plus its hot in June. The race had plenty of water and ice (ice ice baby) on the course! I didn't run fast but I still had a good time.
