The Bootleg Boogie 2027

Bootleg Boogie is a technical trail race held at Bootleg Canyon in Boulder City, Nevada, with the race hub situated near 1000 Yucca Street. Distances range from a half marathon to 100 miles, including intermediate ultra distances like 22, 33, 35K, or 50 miles, varying by edition. The event is limited to approximately 200 runners and features rocky, predominantly unpaved singletrack trails instead of roads or smooth paths. The course is designed with repeated loops, incorporating steady, rolling climbs rather than a single large ascent or a perilous descent. One configuration utilizes a 12.5-mile loop with roughly 1,875 feet of elevation gain per lap, while other descriptions for the 100-miler indicate six loops totaling about 13,200 feet of gain. Runners receive aid at the start/finish area, Caldera, and Veterans. The route offers clear views of Lake Mead and the Las Vegas Strip. The time limit for the 100-mile race is 36 hours; other distances have up to 22 hours. Some participants in shorter and mid-range distances can begin in the evening for a night-running component.
