Desert Dash Trails of Glory Las Vegas, NV   DISCONTINUED

Trails of Glory takes place on the trails on the north and south sides of NV-160, just below the beautiful cliff faces of Red Rock Canyon in the land of wild burros.

Join us at Cottonwood Valley’s Late Night Trailhead. With great trails including the Duck Tree, the north side of Cottonwood Valley promises fun, fast trails with stunning views of the cliffs of the Red Rock Escarpment.

Distances featured include:

Half Marathon Course
13.5 miles, 1400 ft of vertical climb
A mixture of the Mustang Trail, Landmine Loop, and Black Velvet, the course takes Landmine all the way around, passing through Blue Diamond and returning along a gentle uphill on Late Night Trail before finishing with a fast downhill to the finish.

Marathon Course
26.5 miles, 2800 ft of vertical climb
Following the 30K course until mile 13, at which point the course heads south on Dead Horse Loop, up Satan’s Escalator, and to Wilson’s Tank. From Wilson’s Tank the course heads north through the beautiful valley of 3-Mile Smile and along Badger Pass to the finish.

40M Course
41.5 miles, 5750 ft of vertical climb
Following the Marathon course until mile 20 at Wilson’s Tank, at which point the course heads south on the never-before-used singletrack of New 33 to a fun climb up to Bird Springs High Point where runners are rewarded with a beautiful view of Las Vegas in the distance. The course then retraces its route for the last 6 miles back to Wilson’s Tank, then meets back up with the Marathon course to the finish.

Trail runners are naturally inclined to take care of nature and the earth we’ve been given. We believe that same nature applies to our outlook on mankind in general and looking out for each other. With that, we’re proud to partner with Refuge for Women Las Vegas as the official charitable partner of Trails of Glory.
