The big news surrounding this year's Las Vegas Marathon was the new start time. Competitor Group, the race production company that organizes and produces all of the Rock 'N Roll series races changed things up! The news should have been about running the strip at night, the new start time for the half and full marathon. Instead, we're left wondering about what went wrong with such a "standard" race for Competitor Group? Unfortunately, there were multiple problems running the gamut from packed finish shoots to disorganized bag check areas to "metallic" and "stale" water. Check out horrifying accounts here from the Las Vegas Review-Journal!
Producing a major half or full marathon is extremely difficult. It's hard to believe that Competitor Group had so many problems given their experience and number of races they produce each year but it goes to show that anything can happen on Race Day!
