Extraterrestrial Full Moon Races
Ranging from a 5K to a 51K (and everything in between), the Extraterrestrial Full Moon Races invite runners of all skill levels to Rachel for an anything-but-ordinary experience.
You might not be able to outrun a UFO, but you can look for them while competing against fellow racers during the Extraterrestrial Full Moon Races.
Taking place along the famous Extraterrestrial Highway, this overnight race begins and ends at the Little A’Le’Inn. Course distances include a 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, and a 51K, named in honor of nearby Area 51. Enjoy mild weather, star-strewn dark skies, and cups of water and Gatorade at regular intervals. Keep an eye out for uninvited—but not unwelcome—guests overhead, too.
All racers receive a technical shirt, finishers’ medal, glow bracelet, post-race refreshments, and guarantees of alien fun. Overall and age group winners will get awards, as will the racer with the best alien-inspired costume—so dress to impress.
Because the Extraterrestrial Full Moon Races take place at night on an open-range highway (meaning look out for cows and wildlife), runners are required to wear reflective gear and either carry a flashlight or wear a headlamp. Racers who don’t want to drive themselves to the Little A’Le’Inn starting point can add on a roundtrip bus ride from Las Vegas and back.
