The Original Las Vegas Marathon
The event offers multiple road race distances:
- Marathon (full distance)
- Half Marathon
- 10k
- 5k
The course runs on a paved bike path and is organized as an out and back. The full marathon includes a few gentle rolling hills, while the overall layout is described as mostly flat. The event is a certified Boston qualifier, Cert # NV24011MWC.
The starting location is M Resort, 12300 Las Vegas Blvd S, Henderson, NV 89044, with overflow parking behind the hotel parking structure. An early start option is available for full marathon entrants; participants who use this option must notify organizers in advance so their bib can be included in official timing. Early starters should be prepared to carry their own water for the initial segment because not all water stations are set up at the very beginning. Users of the early option must be familiar with the out and back course.
The event includes race day packet pickup and participant items such as a custom finishers medal, an event dry fit shirt, and a reusable goody bag. There is a generous seven hour time limit for the full marathon. Awards are given to the top three overall men and women in each race, top three in each age group for all distances, and top three teams across distances.
The event operates cupless water stations for safety and environmental reasons. Water is dispensed hands free via a foot pedal unit. Reusable cups are available for purchase at packet pickup or race day check in. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
