Death Valley is one of the most spectacular places on earth. This is a scenic wilderness trail run on a gravel jeep road from Beatty, NV, through the picturesque Titus Canyon, to the finish in Death Valley; the entire run is in Death Valley National Park. The desert is beautiful this time of year with mild temperatures; lows between 30 and 40 degrees and highs from the low 60s to 70s. I thoroughly enjoyed the marathon and touring in December and encourage you to join Barb.

The marathon and half marathon offer challenging hills, spectacular scenery, and the gathering of the nicest people any of us know. Add in a finisher's medal for all runs, relays, and walks; a nice long sleeve wind shirt without sponsor's logos; and finishers' hot dogs and beer on one of the prettiest beaches at Lake Tahoe. I ran the Lake Tahoe Marathon last year and found this event to be scenic, well-organized, and family friendly. There is also an ultra three day stage marathon for enthusiasts.
