Red Rock Canyon Ultra : Blue Diamond, Nevada

Red Rock Canyon Ultra is a trail running event held near Blue Diamond, Nevada, with courses routed through Red Rock National Conservation Area and Cottonwood Valley. The event offers multiple distances and mapped courses that pass through sandstone canyons, washes, quarries, and limestone formations.

Distances offered:

  • 100K course spanning the full Red Rock and Cottonwood Valley
  • 50K course following portions of the Red Rock area
