Racing and Rockin’ with Elvis

Running ElvisesIn early December, I’m thinking Elvis instead of elves. The Las Vegas Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and Half Marathon had 27,600 racers. Enough of them were dressed like The King to make it a fun time. The marathon and half marathon are both walker-friendly with cut-off times of seven hours and four hours respectively.

This event has been through a few change of owners, and the new version by Elite Racing is the best I’ve done in the past 10 years. Even with the huge crowd, I found everything very well organized, no lines, no running out of refreshments. I spoke with several racers (mostly marathoners) after the event as we enjoyed the other Las Vegas activities and everyone was complimentary of the event.
