5/5 Stars
Seeing my friends volunteering at the race.Crossing finish line with announcer.
No. Close to last PR by 4 minutes
Course was great did not like the change to the course lotta uphill last miles along with major headwind on change to course on Oso Blanca. Rest of course was great. Scenery pretty loved it
None
Don't throw there clothes in the middle of the course it is a safety hazard for runners. It's in the handbook to leave at checkpoint but this was not done. Also I saw people using the restroom right off the course. ☹️ With the wind, cups were flying in the desert because trash was overflowing.
Local
It started with some anxiety yet the wonderful bus ride with so many other marathoners who were so open and friendly helped. The cafe in the mountains was great and the race, volunteers, layout of the turaine and most if all the beautiful scenery was spectacular!!! Lastly the finish was warm; though I finished last at 6.33 the announcer as well as the other volunteers made me feel like I was first.... Thank you!
No; was not trying
The course was very good;
Unfortunately I had an injury in Feb which stopped my training for 8 weeks.... Also my father passed away three weeks again putting training last..
Train and prepare for the marathon. It is a fgreatfast pace however it can be a challenge without proper training.
Not much; hoping to hang out at the Vegas strip tomorrow after recovering from the marathon.
Great marathon!!!
Great marathon
Running a PB!
Yes! I ran the Half. PR'd by about 90 seconds (1:25:30) ...which I'm very happy with at 56 years of age.
Fair - the last 7.5ks are hard work, but after all the downhill, nobody has any cause for complaint. The road was flat - ie, no troublesome camber - and uncrowded. The drink stations were plentiful and well-spaced. The Start and Finish areas were well organized.
Nothing special - or even specific. Having run two marathons in the last three months my legs were far from fresh, so I trained accordingly. My usual mix is: 1 x speed session, 1 x tempo run, and one long run each week + 3 easy an short runs (70-80ks/week).
Don't overtrain. And don't overthink the art of downhill running....
My first visit to Las Vegas! (From Australia.)
Thanks to all concerned :).
I love the course. I got my newest PR on this course, this was my 33rd half marathon so it took a lot of work but I really enjoyed this and the pizza and pie at the end too. I will come back.
Yes with a 2 hour 40 minute time, I PRed by more than 7 minutes at least. . I may try to do the full someday but don't think I would be fast enough for Boston.
Easy and enjoyable because it is mostly all downhill. It is scenic. I loved being able to start from an area where could see Mt. Charleston covered in snow.
I don't train a lot so this is a nice race for someone like me that outside of running races almost every week for training I don't run outside of races really.
I didn't stay much for after stuff and before I just picked up my packet and got on the bus for the race.
Awesome race. Only thing that could change is having more shuttles available for runners after the race so there isn't a big line and everyone can get on a bus whenever.
Absolutely loved this venue ~ the race staff was amazing. Huge Bravo Zulu to all
No ~ but it was post a marathon 1 week
Love the Revel races ~ 2nd race that I've done with them. Big Cottonwood in Utah was my first ~ now I seek out their races
Very well organized. And it was awesome.
Yes!! PR of 22 minutes. This was my 8th marathon and I finally qualified for Boston!
Great!! Was not a fan of the out and back, that was the first place I walked.
Hired a coach to run an 8 minute mile and I ran an average of 7:59
Do not go out too fast!
Came from San Diego
4/5 Stars
Race day was really well organized and the race started right on time. Very windy and a bit cold at the race parking, but not too bad at the race start. During the race, wind was at our backs or not an issue.
Great course - well defined route, mile markers and lots of water, aid, and port-o-potty stations throughout.
Did not train.
This is one of the best races I have run, as far as race logistics. Packet pick up was super-easy and the entire process, start-to finish was organized and professional. The only suggestion I have would be to have an American Flag at the starting area during the National Anthem.
Thanks
Pretty friggn awesome! Well organized, busses and aid stations worked well, finisher corral was good.
Pace bunnies need to get their shit together though:?they were all at the front! 4:00 was ahead of 3:05 ferchissake! Spread them out.
Yupperdo! And BQ.
Fast and desert-ie. lots to look at and very pleasant.
I focused more on strength training this cycle and less mileage. It worked.
Doooooo itttt!
Shopping on Sunday, then fly out.
Very pleasant overall. Loved the shuttles. Could have used water at the start. All the volunteers were so lovely! Thank you for letting us stay warm in the lodge. I love this course. Hope to come again next year. At the start I would have liked to have pacers lined up and viewable. Never found the pacer I wanted.
Yes. I was shooting for 3:53 and finished at 3:48. This was a 31 minute PR for me. No BQ but I knew I wasn't ready for that yet
Beautiful and fast. Great scenery in the beginning. Cold!
Steady long runs.
