The half marathon and 5k courses are as picturesque as they come - perfect for runners and walkers of all ability levels.

The beautiful desert scenery and lake views will keep you inspired all the way to the finish line! The course starts at London Bridge Park, running around the island, across the world famous London Bridge, on to London Bridge Road, and back to London Bridge Park.

Both the half marathon and 5k will start at London Bridge Park, adjacent to the Channel and overlooking Thompson Bay in Lake Havasu.

Due to the number of entries, half marathon participants will start fifteen minutes before the 5k participants. We ask that you line up according to your average pace, with the faster runners in front, walkers in the back. All half marathon participants will have a "4-hour time limit" to complete the course.

To ensure that roads reopen to vehicular traffic at the published times, there will be a cut-off point enforced along the route.

Half Marathon
Participants must pass the turn-around point by 10:05 am or they will be stopped and shuttled to the finish. Participants still on the road at 11:30am will be stopped and shuttled to the finish. Those that have already entered the park will be allowed to finish.

All half marathoners will need to complete the 13.1 miles in 4 hours or less. We have factored in the time it will take for the last participant to cross the start line. Please plan your training accordingly.

5k
The time limit for the 5k is 1-1/2 hours. Participants still on the course at 9:15am will be stopped and shuttled to the finish. Those that have crossed the intersection will be allowed to finish.

You know your body best. If you feel like you cannot finish or your doctor has advised you against participating in this event, we suggest that you do not toe the starting line. If you want to drop out of the race (for non-injury reasons), visit the nearest medical station on the course where they will call the shuttle and will transport you back to the finish line.

If you feel urgent medical care is needed please dial 911 for emergency medical assistance.

Plenty of water and sports drink will be supplied at the start/finish and at replenishment stations throughout the half marathon and 5k course.
