Hoover Dam Marathon
The Hoover Dam Marathon, held at Lake Mead National Recreation Area near Boulder City, Nevada, offers marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K race options. The scenic course features stunning views of Lake Mead, the largest man-made lake in the U.S., and runs along the Historic Railroad Trail and the River Mountains Loop Trail. Runners traverse old railroad tunnels used during Hoover Dam's construction and enjoy panoramic sights of the dam and Bypass Bridge from switchback descents.
Marathoners complete two loops of the course, which is a mix of paved asphalt and packed-dirt trails. The event is officially certified and serves as a qualifier, with a festive finish at Boulder Beach. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
