It's not the most creative course and it's certainly not the most technical, but there's NOTHING like running the Las Vegas strip at night. The energy is absolutely insane from the runners to the crowds to the lights.

I had the unique experience of running this race with a friend of mine that was part of the November Project Seattle group in 2019 when the November Project Summit (7) was in Las Vegas and partnered with RnR Las Vegas. That created a fun experience because we had a lot of friends out on the course, but regardless of whether you know 1 or 1000 people out there....you're going to have a blast!

However, it IS Vegas. And there's so much to see and do and drink and eat that it's another one of those "PACE YOURSELF" weekends so your race doesn't blow up in your face.

I have to say that the way in which you get to the starting line is ABSOLUTELY awful. They send you out in waves, so there's a good chance if you wanted to run with someone you're not going to get the chance. The folx that shuttle people into the waiting corrals are very strict, and for good reason, but it makes it challenging if you had a race buddy in mind. You could probably shift BACK a corral and be okay with it, but someone who is in a farther back corral cannot shift up.

The race is flat and strangely deceiving because the Strip always looks shorter than it really is, but if you settle into having fun and counting all the running Elvis on the course you'll be done in no time.

Oh, and HYDRATE HYDRATE HYDRATE!
