5/5 Stars

I got up early to catch a bus. As we began the race thebsnow began which was a lot of fun. The race was quick and we'll organized.

I did PR and qualify for Boston for the first time. I came in ready and set a PR by over 20 minutes.

The course was fast, beautiful and painful.

I run a minimum of seven miles a day with a race of varying distance each weekend.

I'm not sure there is much you can do to really prepare for the course unless you run in similar terrain. Have your mileage up and be ready for more time off after that normal.

I went to run. So I ran. I came for one night from California.

A little cold, but with the info given before the race, I was prepared and grateful for the beenie, gloves, and blanket. Very surprised. Volunteers were wonderful, and with the cones and police directing traffic, I felt safe. Can't wait to do another Revel Run!

Didn't PR, because I stayed with a friend I wanted to support and she did great!

Loved the scenery. Absolutely beautiful. A little tight at first with so many runners going down half a lane, but soon thinned out. The grade was perfect for me

I didn't get much time to prepare for this run since I didn't know about till I seen it on Facebook 2 weeks prior. The pacers were a great help. They encouraged us and gave advise that was very helpful.

Don't miss this run! Take in all the info given and you will experience one of the best runs ever.

Expo was great. Able to get all questions answered and got a few items. Took of ton of photos before and after the run. Loved the announcer at the finish line and the food was great. Traveled from Bullhead City, AZ

It was awesome.

No

Loved it. It was easy.

I ran a lot.. Putting some miles in and resting a few days before the race helped.

Just do it and stop thinking about the miles while running.. Just get to the finish line.

Got some donuts.

Obviously the weather was PERFECT and the race was extremely organized. It seriously couldn't have been a better race all around! SO organized with everything from the expo to pick up the race bag through the bag pick up at the very end. Well done.

Yup. Beat it by 20 min!

Great, no complaints. I'm surprised you closed traffic to us!

5/5 Stars

Yes! Beat my previous best time by 18 minutes!

Fast and fun

It was amazing!! This race was well organized. All of the runners were supportive. This was my first half marathon and it was an awesome experience. Everything about is race was beautiful.

This is my first race but my normal pace during training was 10 mins per mile and I was able to finish in under 2 hours!!! So I did surpass my PR

The downhill expererince is fast. It was beautiful. The weather was perfect for running.

I did a 12 week training program. It worked well and prepared me for this race. Train, train, train!!! With training is so easy to compete this course.

Dress warm and be ready to shed layers after the race starts.

Ate pie! And pizza. However the face that there was no re entry to the finish area was not communicated well. My family met me at the finish line and I was so excited to see them and so happy to finish that I didn't get my pie or pizza first. Some runners had to run to the restroom and staff was not letting them back in the finishers area for food. So other runners passes us good over the fence. I would suggest changing this. As long as the runner has on a bib and a medal you should let them pass to get their goodies. Or communicate before a runner leaves the area that they can not re enter

It snowed the first few miles, then rained once we got down. How cool is that? Perfect weather.

Not sure, my first marathon since age 31. My only goal was not to get picked up by the slowpoke wagon, so I guess YES. Sorry I don't know my qualifying time for the Boston Marathon.

Very smooth transition from the sudden downhill pass to the gentle up hills that transitions into flat course until the finish line. Great for new biggeners in marathon running.

I don't do serious training, run 6 miles few times a week around the neigborhood. I would be more serious about training for a marathon. Get expert advice on setting up a work/training calender and follow it religiously. And eating right is also an essential part of training.

Train, train, train and do Mt Charleston if it's your first Marathon or you just want a fun course. Travel tips: Came to Las Vegas, tourist friendly place. Course tips: take advantage of the downhills, dress in layers, tie your shoes in "heel lock" fashion toavoid ankle blisters- weather tips? Hope we have the same next year

Went gambling, ate and shopped a little. I drove from San Bernardino after work(am) easy, no brainer 3hr drive
(Okay, I did a little speeding here and there)

It was very casual and more relaxing. I really enjoyed the run on the mountain.

This is my second 1/2 marathon. My first was last years Rock and Roll Marathon 2015 and my time was 2:55:00 I was satisfied with the time being my first 1/2 and with the conditions rain, wind and the cold.
Revel Mt. Charleston 2:25:31 and I PR by30 minutes. This course is definitely fast.

I liked the course. More room for the runners. The course was great! But then again I did finish very strong.

Honestly, I did more training for the Rock and Roll marathon was more intense. Interesting, I only started training in mid March, and PR by 30 minutes. Fast course!!!

Train hard and on marathon day reap the rewards of your training and enjoy the moment with the view.

None, I watched and cheered the runners at the finish line.

THANK YOU to all the VOLUNTEERS.

Couldn't ask for a better organized race. Everything from packet pickup, to shuttles,to porta potties, to finish line and picking up gear. So well done.

I did not. But I did run under 3:30 which was my sole goal.

It was a great course. Fast for the first 18 island then flattens out. If you trained right this would be a fantastic PR course. Gorgeous scenery as well.

I am coming off another couple of marathons this spring so this race just fit in. I didn't do any downhill training. Could've helped maybe but honestly - the grade was such I don't know that it was necessary.

Be prepared for the flat. You fly down the course and then you hit the flat and your speed may go away (at least it did for me). Lube up your feet. You're likely to get blisters if you don't.

We were in town for less than 24 hours - we were just here for the race. I was here from Kansas City.

4/5 Stars

I broke 4 hours for only the second time in 32 marathons, my last sub-4 finish was in 1999. So, I'd say I had a good day. Loved the snow flurries in the first few miles. The course did not feel as much downhill as Canyon City, but the uphills were a lot easier today than at Canyon City. I can't say I've ever run a marathon that started out with snow and ended with warm sunny weather, followed by drizzles. We had every type of weather today! Great race.

No, but I got my second sub-4 marathon in 32 tries, the first one was in 1999 when I was 45 and ran 3:55 in Los Angeles . So, it only took me 17 years to run a sub-4 again (now I'm 62).

Slightly downhill most of the 26 miles, with a few insignificant uphills.

Long runs, short runs, downhill runs. I train year-round with a group of LA Leggers.

Practice running downhill at marathon pace.

Walked the Strip. I drove up from LA.
