Las Vegas International Marathon

Human Interest Story

The 2011 Rock N Roll version of the Las Vegas marathon was one of the largest debacles in marathon running as half-marathon runners and marathon runners "merged" and slammed into one another. Race organizers are changing the course for 2012 and hoping to fix the course and finish line chaos.

Las Vegas Marathon Organizers Revise Course, Put Second Half On Strip.

I really loved the start with the fireworks.

Let's hope the new organization does better

stay with what you know... gambling & booze

My 7th marathon and the absolute worst!!!

Gusting wind, ugly course, no spectators, easy

Windy and no food/gels - not even a gummy bear.

Wind, Dust and Dirt, but Vegas Baby, Vegas!

Another Marathon Success - Thanks to Al Boka

Thanks to the workers that also had high winds

Positive, but complaint about Ultima sports drink

Without the wind, this would be a fast course!

Don't expect much, stay a few days and party after

It should be a really, really fast course...

A dispiriting experience.  Will not return.

Very hard because of inclimate conditions

Two intervals with chip, 21.5 miles Same direction

Stunning desert start into lively urban finish.

One can run a fast marathon on this course
