Loved the course, perfect weather, awesome volunteers!!! Made a fun girl's trip with awesome friends!!!

Yes, PR'd by 14 minutes and qualified for Boston.

The first 3-4 miles were my favorite, beautiful & scenic. The rest of the scenery was just ok in my book. A few little hills on the first half but nothing too significant and the downhill grade made up for it. The last half seemed a lot less downhill but not totally flat. The last 5 miles though, hard, flat, and un-scenic.

Felt great about my training, I originally signed up for the half but decided to do the full because my friends were all training for full marathons.

We drive the course the day before the race so we knew what to expect, I was glad we did.

Cheesecake Factory for dinner & shopping at the outlets. We came from St. George, Utah.

Great day overall. Race started on time, transportation was good, lots of photography opts and frequent aid stations.

Yes I PR with 3:07 I beat my old time by 20 minutes.

Lots of downhill with great scenery. The volunteers were great and helpful. Lots of bathroom available too.

5/5 Stars

Good race with plenty of support. Fast course! Nice fellow runners :)

No. 12 seconds off PR set 10 years ago.

Nice scenery and very fast! Very manageable downhill grade as long as you train for it. Elevation none factor.

I did practice run on course last week. I should have done 4-5 more! Get plenty of hill training before doing this race !

I was local so no travel. However come in 3-4 days early. There is never ending things to do here besides the Strip. Vaseline your feet especially the toes before you race as your toes will jam into front of your shoes and cause blisters unless you do. This will happen even if you don't normally blister because of the downhill grade. Weather was good and is usually even better this time of the year.

I am local but you can do almost anything here. Hike, bike, climb, trail run, sight see, dance, party, and go to a Show! Just millions of things to do :)

A+ to the organizers! The race was super well run. Plenty of shuttle buses, porta potties and aid stations. The mile markers were really visible.
The food at the end was great. The course is super fast but a little on the boring side and you miss the fans. But I definitely will do it again!

yep! By 10 minutes
It was the half, so no qualifying

Great. The elevation map is a little misleading though. It seemed like the first 8 were all downhill, but after that it felt pretty level with a few slight rises and drops.
The only negative for me was the finish line being hidden from view. I prefer to be able to see it coming down the final stretch.

Came from SoCal to run with my sister and friends.

5/5 Stars

The conditions were great, the people were a lot of fun, the volunteers were dynamite, and I got a ton of encouragement!
Since this was my first half marathon, a group of people attempting to run it in two hours gave me great advice, and helped me have my best and fastest mile between mile six and seven.

Since this was my first half marathon I did a personal record of two hours and seven minutes, not sure that was the official time, but it's what I clocked on my own device.

I thought the course was ideal, especially for a first timer. The downhill course for the first 7 miles or so help me pick up a good steady pace and the flats toward the last part of the course were very manageable.

I don't know that I really trained for this. I didn't find out about this particular race until a week before hand when a friend suggested I do it. I have been running for about a year, and I've been running between 5 and 7 miles at a time for the past nine months or so.

Make sure you got proper gear before doing this. I was fortunate in that I was able to buy new shoes before hand from people who run these races regularly. They also recommended a few other items and all that made it a much more manageable run.

It's Las Vegas, so I was able to jump right into the debauchery of it all!

5/5 Stars

The weather was nice and cool on race morning. The event was well planned and the course was truly beautiful.

Yes. This was my first race and I intended to finish under 2 hrs. I did it in 1:47.

The course is very beautiful. Let's of sites to see.

I never ran more than 17 kilometres before. Next time I will be better prepared. The 17 kilometres training I had before helped me stay fit until about the 17th kilometre mark and after that I started struggling.

Train hard and believe in yourself.

I met up with participants from the pasadena pacers and team keep it moving for dinner. It was nice and we had fun.

5/5 Stars

The snow falling on us at mile 1-3, running with my friend Dev who paced me to a PR, beautiful scenery and at an organized and efficient event.

Yes, I did set a personal record with about a minute faster but my old PR is 4 years old and training was lacking this running cycle. I also qualified for the Boston Marathon! Super Happy!

The elevation drop is significant during the first half, but the larger climbs were also in the first half which helped for the second half of the race. The scenery was desert like, serene, peaceful and open; how I like my races to be. The grade was pretty steep overall, but especially the first half where you are surprised by a few hill "bumps". The second half was also nice with open scenery. The last 3- 4 miles are near city, but the streets were blocked off well for runners and runners were not too close to traffic areas.

My training was poor. I ran 50% of typical miles per week, but did do long runs to make sure the distance training was there. 6-8 weeks of fairly solid training for distance. 2 months max, so not my normal training pattern. Very happy I pulled a PR on the course. Trained specifically on downhill runs on the long runs with comparable drop equivalent to first half drop for about 6-8 weeks. Train downhill and learn how that feels like.

We enjoyed staying at the Resort at Mt. Charleston, but you have to have two cars to plant one at the finish line. Make sure you learn about running downhill and practice technique.

We traveled from Southern California and enjoyed the scenic resort we stayed at. Quick trip with Mothers Day tomorrow so just a nice lunch after at Braddahs.

I think everything was very well organized,and I enjoyed my race day,but I was very disappointed that you ran out of age group awards when you now exactly how many you need

I did PR and I qualified fo Boston by 50 minutes

I live in Las Vegas and I now the course well , great course I don't think it's to aggressive

For sure run plenty of down hills
