When the sun sets in Nevada, the participants of the Las Vegas Marathon begin the course. This is the moment when the city really comes alive, with bright neon lights and a lively atmosphere. Even when the marathon route leaves the track, the runners are accompanied by lights and music. The runners are on a very flat course on their way to an epic finish halfway down the Las Vegas Strip. The Humana Rock 'N' Roll Las Vegas Marathon is also part of the popular Rock 'N' Roll series. A 10 km and a half marathon will also be run on the same day if you wish to run a shorter distance!

Today is at leisure, or you can pick up your bib number. This is also possible to do the next day. As there is nothing else on the program, you can arrange this day in your own way. Some of the sights that are definitely worth a visit in Las Vegas are: The Strip, Bellagio fountains and The Mirage (also both casinos), Death Valley National Park, The Stratosphere or the famous Chapel's where you can get married in no time.

Just like on Friday, you can pick up your bib number today. You can fill in the rest of the day as you wish. Will you continue where you left off or prepare yourself for the race, which is scheduled for tomorrow? Everyone has their own way of preparing, which is why we leave this completely up to you. It is wise, however, to start the race well rested.

The day after the marathon, the choice of the program is all yours again. There is nothing planned from within the organisation, so you can make your own arrangements for this day. Do realise that this is the last day in the gambling city of the United States.

All or nothing. This is Las Vegas! The impression this city leaves on visitors cannot be described. The city, located in Nevada, has become the world capital of gambling. The huge casinos, which were once only seen in movies, are right under your nose. An evening walk on the Strip gives an impressive insight into this colourful city. The light and water shows, the huge billboards and the various street artists make Las Vegas something unique. Las Vegas surroundings also offer several excursions, for example to the magnificent Grand Canyon. It is definitely worthwhile to visit Las Vegas.
