  • Description: The Running From an Angel Marathon, 1/2, 10K, 5K, and 50 mile ultra is run completely inside the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Contrary to the Running with the Devil races which challenge athletes to contend with extreme Mohave Desert heat in the middle of summer, in the middle of the day with average temperatures reaching up to 110 degrees with low humidity and little cloud cover, the Running with an Angel races enjoy perfect winter desert temperatures. The course covers continual rolling terrain overlooking the crystal blue waters of Lake Mead.

    The course is an out and back on the very scenic Lakeshore and Northshore Drives, and is run completely on pavement. Aid stations will be well stocked along the course. (see "Aid Stations")

    All races start and finish at the Boulder Beach Special Events Beach, which has ample parking. The course is continual rolling hills with some long (about a mile) gradual ascents and decents ranging from 1-8% in grade. Some shorter rollers may be a bit more steep.
