Event summary

Get ready for an unforgettable experience at the Extraterrestrial Full Moon event, taking place from August 1st to August 2nd, 2026, in the enchanting Alamo, Lincoln. Set against the backdrop of the legendary Area 51, this running event offers an exceptional lineup of races, including a Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, and an exciting 51K challenge. Participants will traverse the famous Extraterrestrial Highway, renowned for its numerous UFO sightings and stunning desert scenery.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, runners will be treated to breathtaking views of twilight illuminating the high desert landscape, with elevations ranging from 4,000 to 5,600 feet. The cooler temperatures, typically 15 degrees lower than the Las Vegas Valley, make for an ideal running environment in August. Join fellow enthusiasts for a weekend filled with adventure, natural beauty, and perhaps even a glimpse of shooting stars as you embrace the magic of the Extraterrestrial Full Moon!

Organiser's Description

Running along the fringe of the mysterious Area 51, this stretch of highway (375) has an overwhelming number of reported UFO sightings. So much so, that in 1996 the federal government officially named highway 375 the "Extraterrestrial Highway". The ET Highway has become a gathering place for UFO enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. With elevations ranging from roughly 4000-5600 feet, the high desert will enchant you with gorgeous vegetation, surrounding mountains, and stunning vistas. An additional treat is the cooler temperatures. Rachel, NV is generally 15 degrees cooler than the Las Vegas Valley; coupled with a night time run, temperatures should be perfect for running in August!

* The Extraterrestrial Full Moon Marathon, 1/2, 10K, 5K & 51K are run on the weekend closest to the full moon. Runners will witness as the day falls into night, gorgeous twilight desert glow, a glorious moon rise, shooting stars, and the calm of the vast desert darkness.
