Labor of Love
Labor of Love is a multi-distance road running event held Saturday, March 6, 2027 on Lovell Canyon Road in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area near Las Vegas, Nevada. Distances offered include:
- 50K
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- 10K
- 5K
The courses run on paved Lovell Canyon Road through high desert vegetation, including Joshua trees, piñon-juniper, mountain rose, and sagebrush, and pass through a relatively lush section of the Toiyabe National Forest. The road twists and turns with rolling and gradually uphill terrain. Reported temperatures in the canyon are about 10 degrees cooler than the Las Vegas Valley.
Aid stations on all courses provide water and Gatorade in cups and can refill bottles. Designated ultra aid stations offer additional provisions such as basic first aid, ice, cooling sponges, and energy gel. Marathon and 50K runners are required to carry a hydration system with a minimum of 24 ounces of water. Drop bags are allowed for 50K runners at the Homebase aid station near mile 26.2; marathon runners may have one drop bag at the finish area.
All race distances include a technical shirt when available, a finisher medal, post race food, eligibility for overall and age group awards, and access to aid stations. The event is not a closed course, is shared with the public, and does not allow pets or pacers. Primitive camping is available at the venue and lodging options are generally located in the Greater Las Vegas Valley. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
