About the Death Valley Trail Marathon
Enviro-Sports stages this remote trail marathon inside Death Valley National Park. Bus transport, limited facilities, and a point-to-point desert route make preparation and self-sufficiency central to the day.
Course
The route runs primarily on packed dirt through Titus Canyon, climbing from roughly 3,500 feet to Red Pass before a long descent. Weather or park conditions can force route changes, so runners should expect a true backcountry event.
Race-day weather
December is mild by Death Valley standards but not predictable. Cold wind, rain, or even snow at the high point can contrast sharply with warmer, drier canyon miles.
