About the Running with the Devil Marathon

Running with the Devil Marathon is Calico Racing's hot-weather desert marathon near Las Vegas. It is a niche but useful listing because runners search for it by challenge: paved canyon running, high temperatures, and a deliberately tough late-June setup.

Course

The marathon uses a paved Lovell Canyon Road course near Highway 160, starting around 4,500 feet. The road is rolling rather than flat, with high-desert scenery and a nine-hour event window for marathon and 50K runners.

Race-day weather

This race is built around heat management. The organizer describes expected daytime highs around 95 to 100 degrees, so hydration, shade strategy, and conservative pacing matter more than normal marathon rhythm.
