Cold start — layer up, big temp swing

Runners will start in chilly 40°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temps will climb significantly to 59°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Common Goals:

This scenic wilderness trail run is on a gravel jeep road from Beatty, NV through the picturesque Titus Canyon, finishing in Death Valley (entire run is in Death Valley National Park). The desert is beautiful this time of year with mild temperatures; lows at night between 30 and 40 degrees and highs during the day from the low-60s to mid-70s. This is our most spectacular trail event of the year and well worth the weekend away. Truly, an experience you won't forget. Source
