• Description: On the fringes of the mysterious Area 51, highway 375 has one of the highest number of reported UFO sightings. Enough so, that in 1996 the federal government officially named the 98 mile stretch of highway the "Extraterrestrial Highway". The ET Highway has become a gathering place for UFO enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. With elevations ranging from roughly 4000-5600 feet, the high desert will enchant you with gorgeous vegetation, surrounding mountains, and stunning vistas. An additional treat is the cooler temperatures. Rachel, NV is generally 20 degrees cooler than the Las Vegas Valley; coupled with a midnight run, temperatures should be around 68 degrees in August!
  
  The 1/2 Marathoners will gather at the "Black Mailbox", which is the Marathon start. 1/2 Marathoners will be bused to their start line after the marathoners start their race. The 1/2 Marathon start is exactly 13.1 miles straight shot to Rachel and the Little A'le'Inn restaurant and finish line where the BREAKFAST SPREAD awaits! The 1/2 Marathon course climbs to the top of Coyote Summit at 5591 foot elevation, then descends off of Coyote Summit and finishes in the town of Rachel at 4970 feet. Start time is 12:30am.
