Rachel, NV
The course runs along the Extraterrestrial Highway, a stretch of pavement beside the country's most famous restricted military installation. The high desert rolls through open country with mountains on the horizon and almost no light pollution. Several distance options are offered, and all of them start near dusk so runners move from twilight into full dark under a rising moon.
