If you are looking for a fun, fast and not too crowded race, then you should check out Run Laughlin Half Marathon, 5K & 10K. From the time I checked in to the time I drove away from the after party, I was all smiles. The only thing that is personally sad about this race, is that the 5K runners don’t get the experience of running across the dam, across state line, across 2 time zones, but winning 2nd in my division 3 of the 4 years helps make up for that! This is one of my top 3 favorite races and will be back each year!

This year the World Record was broken. There were only 8 portapotties in addition to the bathroom building for all those participants. I chose to wait till the turn around point 2.88 miles up the beach to use the restrooms there.
When I came through the finish, sore and tired from pushing my personal limit although 13min/mi is not fast in many others eyes, I was given a water box! After 6.2 miles of running, there was no protien/nutrition bar, no gatorade or something with electolytes, no fruit of any kind. Whatever they did have, they ran out of. So anyone finishing after me would be tough out of luck too. As for the festivities, I don’t know how they were because my husband and I left so I could get some kind of nutrients in me. I would have loved to hear the announcement of our record plus watch the winners who placed walk up to the stage, but proiority of a simple protien bar and some orange juice from the gas station up the road was more important.
Bottom line, the race itself was great, the sights were amazing, the start all at once was a big nutty but manditory to get the record, But the pre and post race “festival area” needs a lot of work.
