Congratulations to LASD Carson Station's Baker to Vegas running team on placing 7th place in the "Station 250" category. The team finished with an impressive final time of 17:18:04. The Station 250 category includes any participating station which has 250 or fewer "sworn" personnel.
Carson Station's team could not have made it happen if it weren't for the generous help from our sponsors, volunteers, and supporters. We would like to thank Krueger Tow, Sparklets Water, Limos 4 Me, WSS Shoe Warehouse, Cedar Lane Foods, Stub Hub Center, Win Chevrolet, Carson Honda, Carson Nissan, Carson Toyota, Car Pros Kia, Phillips 66, the Carson Sheriff's Station Support Foundation, and all the other contributors to the Carson Station Baker to Vegas team.
About the race:
The Baker to Vegas Relay is the most "positive" event offered to law enforcement officers today. It gives them a reason to maintain a physical fitness program so as to help them better perform their duties. Over the 20+ years the Challenge Cup/Baker to Vegas Relay has been run hundreds of thousands law enforcement personnel have tread across the desert. The original ideals of the race continue: teamwork, camaraderie, physical fitness and competition. The event has expanded in many ways most notably in entries and categories. The number of teams has grown 14 fold from the first 19 teams in 1985. The number of teams is now limited to 270. Categories have grown to include Probation Officers, District Attorneys, US Attorneys and full time civilian police personnel.
As a result of this growth the race has flourished. Today it is the largest law enforcement event of its kind in the World with teams participating from Calgary Canada, RCMP men and women, Berlin and Hamburg Germany and law enforcement teams throughout the United States. The Challenge Cup/Baker to Vegas Relay is truly a National and International event.
The course begins 25 miles north of Baker CA. on Highway 127 to Shoshone CA; then northeast on Highway 178, across the state line into Nevada on Highway 372 to Pahrump NV., then southeast on Highway 160 to the finish inside the Hilton Hotel Convention Room in Las Vegas. Teams are scheduled to run in eleven flights, depending upon their ability, with flights starting hourly from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
On Sunday, eight hours after the last team finishes, an Awards Ceremony is for over 6000 runners and support personnel; several thousand family members and friends; and almost a thousand race volunteers. The festivities began with a most impressive Opening Program providing entertainment for all. Over 145 VIP law enforcement dignitaries, chiefs of police, agentsincharge and sheriffs are introduced to the crowd.
During the ceremony and throughout the hotel conversation is continually in a roar with the most common phrase and pledge, "Wait till next year"!
