We are proud to continue and expand our long-standing relationship with the City of Henderson and honored to have the city as the co-presenting sponsor of the Jackpot Ultra Running Festival for the next 5-years.”
Shari Ferguson, City of Henderson Director of Parks and Recreation commented, “In addition to our local residents being able to participate in a festive ultra-running event, the Jackpot Ultra draws runners from around the world and enables them to experience our World Class City while testing their running limits. The City looks forward to working with Beyond Limits Running to continue growing the Jackpot Ultra Running Festival.”
