See the 40K Route Here
This route is subject to final adjustments post-monsoon but will be between 39.75 and 41K long. It is *massively* downhill, from around 6,000 feet to just over 3,000 (but still has Rocky Gap Rd to contend with).
Aid stations will be provided at regular intervals (average of every 10K) with full medical support on-course. Route information and maps will be updated closer to the event.
Note: Ultra X Nevada is a self-supported event and an exercise in nutrition and planning as well as endurance. 40K Aid stations will have water and top-notch medical support; no other on-course amenities are guaranteed.
Produced in Partnership with:
Friends of Red Rock Canyon, Brett Torino Foundation, and Save Red Rock. Our 40K is "at-cost" and all funds 'donated' above that will go to support the missions of these great organizations!
