Baker to Vegas relay race is teamwork in action - Inside CDCR
The run traverses 120 miles of pavement in 20 stages beginning in Baker, Calif., and ending in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Organizers describe the relay as featuring “over 10,000 runners, guests, family members and support staff (through) hot days and cold nights.”
The run begins at 474 feet above sea level and climbs to 5,500 feet by stage 15. It’s the highest point in the race and, as organizers say, it’s not unusual to see snow.
