Speedy! Amazingly fast course aided by a tailwind!

Yes

Downhill at a lovely not too steep gradient, followed by a mellow relatively flat run-in for the last few miles. Very pretty high desert terrain the first 8 miles.

5/5 Stars

Yes, by 2 minutes against a race that was much steeper course.

Comfortable downhill on a flat road for about 9 miles then flat until around mile 10 where there's a slight incline. Flat once again until about mile 11.5 where's there's a freeway overpass but it's an easy uphill. Then down, around the corner and a nice downhill kick to the finish.
Pretty much a run a run through the desert then near the end you're running past new residential developments.

I have a steep hill near my house that ran/walked up and down. I expected this course to be steeper and that my quads would be burning but it's actually my calves that are feeling it.

I got to Las Vegas on Thursday and that was perfect for me, I was able to get a good nights sleep that night because I knew I wouldn't get enough the night before the race.

I came with my 89 year old mother so we just hung out at the casino & played Bingo.
We drove in from Southern California.

It was a good experience

Yes

Fun. The scenery and coarse was great

I trained as much as i could. I work I a hospital and it's tough finding time to train in between work and family plus I'm on - call half the time

Just go out and do it. It's fun

Nothing. I was just trying to keep warm

It was great , the scenery was beautiful. The volunteers did awesome

Yes I pr by 9 minutes and I bq

Fast , i was shocked at my pace , the views were so pretty

I trained for 12 weeks, ran , speed workouts on track , and hit the weights

Make sure your doing squats and lunges to strengthen your quads , weather was great but dress warm at top of mountain for prior to race

We stayed in Vegas the plan is to eat bad rest of weekend ! We traveled from boston

This race has exploded compared to last year... definitely more of a wait for shuttles to the start line and then a longer wait to take shuttles back to the parking lot.

My drop bag was lost as well (4593). Not happy about that... first time ever that happened.

Loved the race last year... far best race experience I've had. Not so much this year...

No

Perfect

Great event, look forward to next year.

Yes, i know I can improve..

Course was great, lots of police and traffic was not an issue.

I read a lot about running down hill and i think it helped me at the top of the course.

Best part of race day was finishing the half marathon with my brother and my sister-in-law on their first half.

No. This race was about getting my brother and sister-in-law to the finish line.

Very nice gradual downhill course with lovely vistas of surrounding mountains.

Nominal. Got really sick about a month before the race.

Be ready for colder conditions starting out and the warming up as you get running. Do the race with family and friends if you can, unless you are trying to PR.

Traveled from Colorado. Met up with my brother and his family. Enjoyed great home cooked food the night before and a fantastic Italian meal after the race.

5/5 Stars

Cold and windy, but that's expected of the time of the morning. Such a great course - I loved how you can see for miles in the distance as you're running closer to the finish line! PR'ed in this one! Yay!! Very well organized as always!! Will be back next year for sure! Revel never disappoints!

Yes!!! PR'ed by 5 minutes!!! Finished in 1:30! So happy about that!!

Perfect grade of downhill, and the uphill portions were very bearable.

Best advice I could give for this one is to train on downhill running

Wear extra layers of clothing, and make use of the drop bag option to shed the layers before race time

Relaxed, and just got to know the area around where I was staying
