Labor of Love Races 50M 50k Marathon Half Marathon 10k & 5k

Each of the races in the event shares the same starting line, the intersection of Lovell Canyon Road just off Highway 160, which lies about 30 miles west of Las Vegas and over the mountains west of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Spring Mountain Ranch State Park. Like the other two races, the half-marathon is run entirely on paved surfaces along Lovell Canyon Road, and is an out-and-back race that runs along the road to the 6.55-mile marker and back. Runners start the race at an elevation of about 4,500 feet above sea level and climb all the way to 7,000 feet in the full marathon. The half-marathon doesn’t reach that elevation but it does climb steadily uphill toward the half-way point (and steadily downhill on the way back). Half-marathon participants start their race at 7:30 AM, a half-hour behind the full marathoners, who will start their race with both the 50-mile and 50K runners. No parking is available at the race venue/starting line, so buses will be provided to transport runners from an off-site parking location to the starting line.
