Red Rock Canyon Ultra

Red Rock Canyon Ultra

Red Rock Canyon Ultra is a set of trail races held near Blue Diamond, Nevada, within the Red Rock National Conservation Area just outside Las Vegas. The event offers multiple race distances over natural desert terrain.

The courses pass from the Red Rock visitor center through Aztec sandstone canyons and washes, across quarry areas, and around limestone formations. The 100K course traverses Red Rock and Cottonwood Valley and reaches the area known as Satan's Escalator before finishing in the town of Blue Diamond.

Race distances:

• 100K
• 50K
• 17K

Aid stations and crew access are provided at multiple locations along the courses; examples include Lost Creek (mile 7), South Oak Creek (mile 15.5), Blue Diamond (mile 19.5 and 27.5), Mud Spring, Red Valley, Late Night, and the 100K finish (mile 62.5). The 17K course does not have an aid station, so participants on that course must carry water or a hydration system. Drop bag and crew access points are available at selected aid stations, with crew access at Blue Diamond and other specified locations.

Logistics information includes remote parking and shuttle service for 50K and 100K participants, local parking for 17K, a packet pickup the Friday before the event at CraftHaus Downtown, published course maps, and live result tracking. The deadline to guarantee a race shirt with entry is 10/23/2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
