Ran this race in 2012 and had a great experience. We started late but that was to be expected! Course was nice & flat...no hills anywhere! Fun to run at night & see the strip! Small section out towards Freemont where we ran around random neighborhoods, but it was only a few miles. Plenty of water/gatorade along course. Potties were scarce from mile 8-11. Great medal, plenty of food/snacks @ finish. I'd do it again!
