Labor of Love Marathon
The Labor of Love Marathon, organized by Calico Racing, takes place in Lovell Canyon within the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area near Las Vegas, Nevada. The event offers multiple race distances including 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, and a 50K ultra marathon. The course features paved roads winding through high desert terrain with Joshua Trees, Pinion-Juniper, and lush forest areas, providing cooler temperatures than the Las Vegas Valley.
The marathon and 50K courses include rolling hills with about 2400 feet of elevation gain but net zero overall. Aid stations with water, energy drinks, and gels are well spaced, and all finishers receive medals and technical shirts. The race emphasizes environmental care and offers awards inspired by the natural surroundings. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
