The GameWorks Desert Dash consists of three to seven miles of trail running, eight to 15 miles of mountain biking, a "Secret" revolving third discipline that can be anything from kayaking, in-line skating, orienteering, swimming or other. There will be eight to 15 "Mystery Challenges" placed throughout the course to keep things interesting. The distances, order of events and the third discipline will not be announced until the pre-race meeting Friday night. This race has been designed for the experience racer, weekend warrior and/or party animals.

The title sponsor is GameWorks of Las Vegas, by SEGA, founded by Steven Speilberg. GameWorks is located right on the strip adjacent to the MGM and across from New York - New York. The pre-race meetings and clinics will be held in the banquet room at GameWorks. The post-race party will be upstairs in the GameWorks bar. Lotus broadcasting along with Coca Cola and Fun & Fit Newspaper have become the cosponsors of the GameWorks Desert Dash adventure race series.
