On 6 December 2025, runners will gather at Lake Mead’s Boulder Beach Picnic Area for the Hoover Dam Marathon event. The offerings include a full marathon (~42.2 km), a half-marathon (~21.1 km), a 10 km and a 5 km distance. The course winds through the Mojave Desert, uses parts of the River Mountains Loop Trail and the Historic Railroad Trail tunnels—giving spectacular views of Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. Marathon runners complete two loops of the signature terrain, while shorter-distance runners take suitable portions of the route. With mixed surfaces (paved and packed-dirt trail) and a finish at a unique landmark, the event blends endurance challenge, natural beauty and desert adventure.
