Going to be there next weekend and need to get a 10-15 miler in. Can anyone give me some good loops?
Just got back. If you are staying on the strip, try and run the sidewalks from the Stratoshere to MGM. Take all the walkways, stairs and escalators. Go up one side of the street and back down teh other. Do it early in the morning. You WILL get lost a few times and have to backtrack as all the casinos make it about getting you into them. It should be about 8-9 miles at least. Its a tough run on your body though because there is so much tile and cement. Not very giving.
I’m going this weekend and planning on running the backside of the marathon. Running on the strip is no fun!! Here’s the LV marathon map!
Red Rock canyon is beautiful. Lots of trails and a loop road with minimal traffic. Its a little out of town, maybe 20 minutes or so from the strip, but well worth the drive.

BPQ,
The Las Vegas Running Team has fully supported runs every day of the week. If you are staying at a hotel, contact Dan “The Running Man” Campbell, and he can usually pick you up. We do a run every Sunday that is south of the strip and is GPS marked up to 40 miles.

It’s safer than running down the strip playing pinball with drunk tourists!
