Won't be running this again... negatives out-numbered the positives\n\nPositives:\n1) Running under the lights in Las Vegas was a cool experience\n2) It's Vegas, there's lots to do before and after the race... good times.\n\nNegatives (in no particular order):\n1) Corrals were not enforced... people who wanted to walk during the first mile should not have started up front with the elite runners... \n2) Lack of volunteers to guide crowds and keep people informed\n3) Not enough shirts at registration... blamed on running at night.  Don't believe this for a second. You have X runners, you order X+1 number of shirts...\n4) Swag bag was lacking\n5) Timing of race (sunday night) + strip closed an extra 1-2 hours + lousy post-race food = very few places for thousands of hungry runners to eat afterwards\n6) Quite simply, everything about this race was too crowded and poorly executed to justify the cost involved.  Oh yeah, and they made me pay to get my splits sent to friends... talk about nickel and dimed\n7) After recruiting several friends to run with me, I got left off the email list with the final info, including the one with the waiver attached....not cool.\n\nI can't speak to the water issue, and I won't give away my secret for eating well afterwards (hint, I got in a cab at NY,NY and headed west on Tropicana)... but unless I get an apology and an assurance that they will make some serious improvements, I won't be participating in this race, especially if they plan to increase the number of runners.
