Very Festive and well organized. The trail went off Stip so less crowds to worry about when running. The One hill up to the Dam was a perfect challenge. Running back by In and Out burger was super exciting. I loved the t-shirts this year! AWESOME work with this event.

This was my 5th year - and there were more people than ever....both runners and spectators. I live in Laughlin and I am so impressed with how many people come to participate. It is spectacularly organized and so much fun. And it is nice to hear people comment on how much they like the location of the event.

I had a great time overall. The weather has always been awesome and I really liked that they extended the race to go over the dam.

Well organized until the awards ceremony. My first time to run the 12k. Just wanted to finish it. I loved the run. I hope to compete next year. Awards were very confusing. Computer, based on bib# and name showed me as 2nd in my age group, 60-64, yet at awards ceremony I was told I was first. Final results here show me 2nd. Why the mistake/confusion? There were 7 runners in my age group, yet only 2 identified.

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 fromt eh 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.

You awaken as you walk through the muted sounds of slot machines paying out as you make your way to embark on your ride to the starting line. You're whisked away aboard a posh tour bus and arrive at Laughlin High School where you sit and stretch comfortably within the gym, away out of the cool morning temps. The course is well marked out and beware the miles that begin once you leave the High School grounds - miles 1.5 - 4 are a rigorous, gradual uphill. Abandon your goal pace - but you'll make it up in the later miles (promise). Once you turn onto Hwy 163, you run East into the rising sun as you happily descend for the next four miles. The scenery is spectacular. I encourage you to pause and take photos atop the Davis Dam - with Lake Mohave to the North and the Colorado River stretching out to the South. The course winds up on Casino Row and the finish party was first rate.

The course has both hills and down hill! You have to be careful on your down hill because you could eventually burn out towards the of your run. Pace yourself!
