Description

We're once again taking over the McCullough Hills Trail, and adding a challenging 55K distance. Think you're fast? Test yourself on the difficult 55K course and compete for one of the cash prizes!

Running the entirety of one of the most popular trails in the Las Vegas valley, this race was wildly popular last year and will be again for 2014. Cutting through Sloan Canyon from the Palm Hills area of Henderson to Anthem near Del Webb Middle School, the McCullough Hills trail is a wide, groomed trail that is great for novice and advanced runners alike.
