Upcoming Half Marathons in Nevada

2014-12-26T02:41:00.000-07:00

If you're looking to get a half marathon in early year in Nevada, you only have one to choose from. January and February are very quiet months for half marathons in Nevada.

Running from an Angel Half Marathon in Boulder City (near Las Vegas and Henderson) is the one and only half marathon in Nevada in January 2015. The race is quite small, as there were only 133 finishers in 2014.

There are no Nevada half marathons in February 2015. This is actually pretty shocking, as weather temps are ideal for half marathons throughout January and February, typically ranging around 60's around the Las Vegas area. With the growth of half marathons in the United States, it is surprising so few exist through these months in Nevada.

Fall Running in Nevada

2014-10-10T16:34:00.000-06:00

Running in Nevada during the fall can still be a little warm, but there is no shortage of races. There are at least 10 Half Marathons in Nevada from October through December alone, which are a combination of both road races and trail race half marathons. This weekend, the National Nurses Half Marathon takes place in the beautiful Red Rock area outside of Las Vegas, a beautiful scenic half marathon and a bucket list addition. Of course there is the popular Rock'n'Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon, just weeks away as well, for those that seek to do a little night running along the strip at night. Nevada is also home to many great trail half marathon races, with it's many canyons and national forests wide spread across the state. While the temperature appears to be a little warmer than average over the next week, the Average temps in Nevada for the end of October through November tend to range in the low to mid 70's, and lower 70's toward the end of November, which can make for a nice cool morning run for those that like to run in the cooler temperatures. Nevada wraps the half marathon year up with a half marathon at Hoover Dam in mid December 2014, which also includes a marathon and 10k distance run.

Nevada Half Marathon Totals and Half marathons reach milestone in US

2012-11-12T12:29:00.000-07:00

Half Marathons Reach a Milestone and Surpass the 2000 Total Mark in 2012

The year 2012 has been a year of tremendous growth for half marathons and marks a new milestone of surpassing over 2000 half marathons across the United States. Half Marathons are being formed as fast as we can add them to online Half Marathon race calendar directories. Halfmarathonsearch.com analyzed, searched, and compared the top half marathon calendar listings across the United States and came to a total of 2005 half marathons for all US States totaled, reported on August 26, 2012. California half marathons lead the way with the top number of half marathons, surpassing the 250 mark this year and new half marathons being added almost weekly, with Florida following as second with a total of 105 half marathons reached in 2012. Not too far behind Florida follows Utah, Texas, and the state of Washington for most half marathons in the United States. Both Florida and Texas hit their 100 half marathon milestone this year in 2012.

The rate of half marathon additions does not seem to be slowing as we approach this last quarter of 2012, predicting half marathon totals to likely grow to between 2300 to 2500 by the end of 2013. Half Marathon running clubs, Half Marathon Trail Running events, and half marathon training organizations have also seen growth in 2012.

Furthermore, the half marathon 13.1 mile distance event is a nice event to travel on the weekends to. Runners can typically experience a quick recovery after finishing a half marathon, one may not encounter when participating in a full marathon, presenting the half marathon experience to be very enjoyable running distance event for runners.

NEVADA currently has 35 Half Marathons as of November 2012
