Nevada Half Marathon  

 

Friday @ 8:15 am 
Twilight is at 6:46 am, and Sunrise is at 7:11 am

 

The Nevada Half Marathon is a boutique downhill half marathon starting at the top of Spooner Summit and ending on the bike path on Lakeshore Drive about 150 yards before Hwy. 28 in Incline Village. This race is limited to 150 a la carte runners and 100 runners doing the Trifecta (3 half marathons in 3 days). You may run this race à la carte, with a 3-hour and 45-minute time limit. 

 

"For a fee, shuttle buses" will take you to the start line, leaving RACE HQ at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino on race morning. Meet on the CA side of the hotel. Pre- and post-race transportation is not included but is available for $30 and returns from the Incline Village finish area between 11 and noon. We strongly recommend a support crew for transportation, encouragement, nutrition, and picture-taking. There will be at least three Aid  Stations along the route, approximately every 3 or 4 miles.

 

This race is run on the shoulder of the road facing traffic or on the adjacent bike paths. In some spots, the shoulder is very narrow.

​

For this race, you must follow the Rules of the Road as you run on the shoulder facing traffic or the bike path, always on the left side, facing traffic when not on the bike path.​

 

The Nevada Half is the fastest of the three half marathons. The first 11 miles are almost exclusively downhill from the start in the parking lot at the intersection of Hwy. 50 and Hwy. 28, then runs north to 557 Lakeshore Blvd in front of the Crystal Shores Villas in Incline Village. The finish is on the bike path 100 yards from the intersection of H28 and Lakeshore Blvd. The race starts at about 7000' and ends near lake level at about 6250', with incredible lake views.

 

Each race and day will have different finishers' medals and finishers' license plate holders. T-shirts will be given at the Expo or the finish line. Only. Each race has an overall award, but these boutique races will not offer age divisions or other awards.
