About the DAM Ultra 50M, 50K & Half Marathon
The course runs on the River Mountain Trails, a fully paved path that sits between the Las Vegas area and the Boulder Dam. The pavement makes for a smooth surface underfoot, and the surroundings shift between desert terrain and views of the reservoir. The route covers both a longer ultra distance and a half marathon option.
The race benefits St. Jude's Ranch for Children, a local cause tied to Boulder City itself. Beyond that, the organizers have not spelled out packet pickup or parking specifics, so arriving with some extra time to get oriented is a reasonable plan.
