Death Valley Trail Marathon

The Death Valley Trail Marathon, held annually in Death Valley National Park, California, offers a scenic wilderness trail run on a gravel jeep road from Beatty, Nevada, through Titus Canyon, finishing within the park. This event features both marathon and half marathon distances, limited to 200 participants due to park regulations. The race takes place in early December, with mild desert temperatures ranging from 30-40°F at night to 60-75°F during the day. Aid stations are spaced along the course, which follows a single dirt road without the need for markings. The event includes finisher medals, participant T-shirts, and awards for top finishers, making it a memorable and challenging desert trail experience.
