## About

Celebrating a one-of-a-kind southern Nevada Thanksgiving morning tradition, the Six Tunnels Turkey Trot invites families to run, jog, and walk along the scenic Historic Railroad Trail in Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Tracing the historic 1930s rail grade built to haul heavy machinery to the Hoover Dam construction site, participants travel through massive 25-foot-wide hand-hewn rock tunnels carved into volcanic canyon walls with panoramic overlooks of Lake Mead's blue waters. Young runners delight in the dramatic natural tunnel echoes, and sharp-eyed children frequently spot majestic desert bighorn sheep grazing along the rugged desert ridges.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Wide, well-graded hardpacked dirt and fine crushed gravel surface accommodates all-terrain strollers and sturdy double joggers smoothly through every tunnel.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Permanent trailhead restrooms and shaded pavilion benches at the Lake Mead Visitor Center staging area offer quiet resting and nursing places.
• Age Suitability: All ages; the 1-Mile Fun Run is ideal for little trotters and grandparents, while chip-timed 5K and 10K events welcome older youth and parents.
• Sensory Tips: Tunnel interiors provide shaded acoustic fun where children love to hear their voices reverberate, but sound can amplify if large groups cheer simultaneously.
