The Jackpot Ultras is organized and managed by Aravaipa Running, which puts on some of the most well organized and popular races. If they are the race organizer, you know it will be a good one. This race was on a 2.31 mile u-shaped out and back around the lake at Cornerstone Park in Henderson, NV. As an urban ultra, this one was fairly scenic with mountains on the horizon and a picturesque lake in the middle of the course. I enjoyed watching the ducks and geese that were swimming in the lake, and watching the other runners and members of the public walking their dogs. The one thing I didn’t care for much was the hard running surface which was hard on my feet and joints. The wind was also strong along the back stretch, but you can’t blame the race organizers for the weather. The course was down in a low spot, but that didn’t prevent the wind from gusting on part of the course. As usual, the aid station and support was phenomenal, along with live entertainment and nice swag.
