Camping
We LOVE camping! Make sure you get to Logandale Trail System early enough on Friday to find a spot before the locals do. There are no RV hookups available. If you can't find a spot, crash with us at the staging area (unfortunately, we won't be doing a whole lot of sleeping and we may be a little loud).
Medals and Awards
There will be a podium finish. When three deep male/female come in from a certain distance, we will announce the winners. The plaques are always hand made you by a local artist, and you will cherish your award and want to sleep with every night.
All finishers will receive an awesome hand made medal that you will wear with pride!
Parking
Valley of Fire State Park charges $10 a car (local) $15 a car (out of state) for parking/per day. Please have cash with you on race day or pay at packet pick-up. There will also be overflow parking over a half mile before the main staging area on left. If you are running the 13.1m, 10k or 5k, more than likely you will be directed here.
Wildlife, plant life, and some history
The desert may look a little barren at first take, but there are bighorn sheep, desert tortoise, Black-tailed jackrabbit, skunk, antelope, coyote, bobcat, ect..

Absolutely stunning so bring your camera!
Also, just in the canyons is 'Mouse’s Tank’. It was named after an alleged Southern Paiute Indian renegade named ‘Little Mouse’ who hid out there in the 1890’s. He was accused of gunning down two prospectors and many other crimes. Mouse was never found but they believe they found his watering hole, 'Mouse's Tank'.
