The Las Vegas Marathon

The Las Vegas Marathon will start at 6:07 on December 07, 2008 on the Las Vegas strip. Get ready to run to as live entertainment will motivate you throughout the course.

Once again, I have put off training to the very last minute so I should be able to finish the marathon in record time. However, my definition of the end is not what the organizers consider the end. This year I am training for the Beer Pong Championships at the Flamingo so I have had to scale back my running..

The Las Vegas marathon will start and finish at the Mandalay Bay and will make its way down Las Vegas Blvd. all the way to downtown and through the Fremont street experience. The course is a flat loop 26.2 miles.

Date: December 7, 2008, 6:07 am
