Mt Charleston Course Preview

Training Tip

A course strategy – and overall race strategy – is a must for optimal performance on race day. Whether this is your first REVEL Mt Charleston race and your goal is simply to finish, or you are a veteran aiming for a PR or BQ, you should have a well-planned strategy for how you intend to manage the course!

The head coach of REVEL’s Online Coaching Program, who has run a Boston Qualifying time in all the REVEL marathons, has prepared a detailed description of the 2018 Mt Charleston Marathon and Half-Marathon courses. Read More

For a training plan that is designed specifically for REVEL downhill courses, consider the REVEL Online Coaching Program, which is designed by 14-time REVEL Marathon Finisher and Coach Paul Carmona, who has run multiple Boston Qualifiers on every REVEL course!

Mt Charleston Las Vegas Strip Bus Tickets

Charter Bus

Are you staying on the Las Vegas Strip and looking for a more convenient way to get to the event? Purchase a roundtrip bus ticket and you'll be picked up and dropped off at the Strip.

Bus loading will occur from 3:30 to 4am in front of Bally's Las Vegas Hotel and Casino on Saturday, April 28, 2018. These buses will take you directly to the half or full start line. Spectators should not take these buses as it will leave them stranded at the start line. Buses will make the return trip from the finish line to the Strip (Bally's) every hour. Without this ticket, you will take the free bus from the event parking to the start line race morning.
