Lake Las Vegas - Final Update
Unfortunately due to running very short on time, we have had to cancel the 2019 Lake Las Vegas event. We tried mightily to get the event firmed up but, after consulting with competitors, many had to drop out, and there wasn't enough appetite to guarantee a great event. We hope to be able to head back to Lake Las Vegas next year, with a broader time frame.

Lake Las Vegas Update & Survey
We are very sensitive to your need to schedule time off and meet the challenges of planning your travel. Once again, we apologize this has taken so long. But, we still do not have a contract and important details finalized – other than to have been told the competition days will be Saturday April 27 (10:30AM start) and Sunday April 28 (3:00PM start) and that we need to know how many people will stay at Henderson hotels. Please take the survey here and we'll know if this is still viable

The Montgomery team repeated their relay championship in an amazingly tough crowd of teams. More than 20 sub 1:20 teams is a testament to how strong the field has become. Congratulations also to all the other champions, Fit by FIre, Republic of Texas, and Knauf Isulation Slovenia just to name a few. We'll regroup and try for an even better 2019 season. Thank you all.
