About the Event

Immerse yourself in an otherworldly running experience that begins at midnight on Saturday night and continues into Sunday morning under the glow of a nearly full moon. This unique race takes place along Highway 375, also known as the Extraterrestrial Highway, which runs adjacent to Area 51 – a site shrouded in mystery and home to countless reported UFO sightings.
The route itself is steeped in intrigue, drawing UFO enthusiasts and nature lovers from around the world. The landscape here features elevations ranging between approximately 4000 and 5600 feet, offering breathtaking views of lush vegetation and towering mountains against a backdrop of starlit skies. As you run through this high desert terrain, expect to encounter cooler temperatures – Rachel, Nevada is typically about 15 degrees cooler than the Las Vegas Valley.
With temperatures in the mid-60s during an August midnight start, participants will enjoy comfortable conditions as they explore one of America's most enigmatic landscapes. The Extraterrestrial Highway Race promises not just a scenic run but also an unforgettable journey through some of the world’s most captivating and mysterious terrain.
