About the Death Valley Trail Marathon
The Death Valley Trail Marathon and Half Marathon is run on a single dirt road through Titus Canyon in Death Valley National Park, starting and finishing at the canyon's west end where it meets Scotty's Castle Road. The marathon goes up the canyon to a turnaround at mile 8, back to the entrance aid station at mile 13, up again to a turnaround at mile 18 and down to the finish. The half marathon turns at mile 6.5. Entry is limited to 200 runners under National Park Service rules, with a six hour cutoff, and the race is held in early December. Source
