We LOVE camping! Make sure you get to Logandale Trail System early enough on Friday the 13th to find a spot before the locals do. There are no RV hookups available.

As someone that has now raced and volunteered for their events I can confirm what others have said. Triple Dare Running Rocks! They put on challenging and extremely fun events. They treat their participants like royalty, and truly go out of their way to provide a fun and unique race atmosphere. The Las Vegas area is lucky to have them, and I look forward to competing and participating in more of their events!
