Join us on the most scenic run to date. This run will cover over 70 miles of dirt with changing scenery at every mile. We will make our way through fast desert trails lined with Joshua trees and make our way up into a pine tree forest. This is an all day run, account for about an 8 hour round trip from Las Vegas. The run will begin about an hour drive northeast from Las Vegas, near the city of Mesquite Nevada. We will spend 4-5 hours on the trail, then travel around 2 hours back to Las Vegas. We will stop halfway through the run to take in the scenery and raffle off prizes from our event supporting companies. This run does require 4x4 to participate. Upon event registration you will receive an email with the full itinerary of the event and mapped run file.
