Labor of Love
Labor of Love is a set of paved road races held on Lovell Canyon Road near the junction with Highway 160, roughly 30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. The venue sits at about 4,500 feet elevation in high desert terrain with Joshua trees, piñon‑juniper and vegetation associated with the Toiyabe National Forest. Temperatures at the venue are typically about 10°F cooler than the Las Vegas Valley.
Distances offered:
- 50K
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The 50K course is paved and uses repeated out and back segments to reach the distance, with approximately 2,400 feet of total climb and near net zero elevation gain. Multiple aid stations are on course supplying water and Gatorade in cups; refill of personal bottles is encouraged. Ultra aid stations carry gels and extra provisions. 50K runners may use one drop bag that is accessible at mile 26.2. Portable toilets are available at several aid locations.
Entries include a technical shirt, a finishers medal, post-race food, aid station access, and eligibility for awards. Awards are given to overall and age group finishers and are determined by gun time. Packet pickup is held on race day. Parking may be onsite or in an offsite lot with a shuttle if the field size requires it. Primitive camping is available at the venue and nearby campgrounds are noted.
