  • So many things went wrong on the half-marathon I don't know where to begin. I would probably start with how the organization of corals was so poorly put together. There were 40 corals, yet no one patrolling the corals so people were able to walk in and out as pleased. So instead of having 12000 runners in front of me planning on running just as fast if not faster. I had thousands of walkers trying to get a head start since no one was patrolling anything. This led to a further run right off the bat since everything was over crowded to begin with. The second problem came with the course itself. Not only was the course .4 miles longer than it was suppose to be, but you go through some rough areas where the gravel hasn't been patched or fixed in years. There was no where near enough lighting and all the waterstations had one person per table meaning chaos at the water stations. And for it being a rock'n'roll marathon (miles 5-8) only had one band and that was at Freemont St. In some of the places that would have been nice to have music you're stuck with dark shady areas that you wouldn't want to run through during the day. I know it can be hard to organize something like this and to think of all the things that can go wrong. But when you have two shows exiting the convention center and a half and full marathon finishing at about the same times there needs to be more control to the flow of traffic. What scares me is that they were talking about getting the number of participants to 100,000 when they didn't even do a sub-par job organizing for 45k. I will definately cross this race off any future consideration. As fast as the course is both my sister and I dropping 8+ minutes off our personal best (1:34 and a 2:13) despite the course being longer. The freezing air standing before and after the race is not fun and finishing a race and not having anywhere to go and being herded like cows for two hours trying to exit the area was even worse. Its sad when it takes longer to exit the hotel than it did for you to run a race. The only way I would consider running this race again is when I hear that the coordinator of the event steps down and someone who actually knows how to manage a race of this size (i.e. Boston, NY or Chicago). Vegas shouldn't have jumped as much as it did while changing the venue from morning to night. Its called research and they did a poor job at organizing an event that should have been fun.
