The Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Marathon almost certainly will have more participants this year.
And those participants will get to run on even more of Las Vegas Boulevard than last year. In fact, the half-marathon will be contested almost entirely on the city's most famous stretch of road, along with about half of the 26.2-mile main event.
The Dec. 5 marathon will again take over the northbound and southbound lanes, starting on the Strip near Mandalay Bay, going north for the first six miles to Fremont Street before jogging onto a couple of sidestreets for miles 7 and 8. Then runners will hit the boulevard again, with half-marathoners taking it all the way to the finish in the parking lot at Mandalay Bay's convention center.
Marathoners will go almost to the finish area, then head west on Hacienda on a loop that ultimately brings them back to the Strip to contest the final few hundred yards. READ ON
