Parking & Busing
Because REVEL Mt Charleston is a point-to-point route, we will bus you from the finish line to the start line. Your bib is your ticket to board a bus. Due to road closures and participant safety all runners must take the buses the morning of the race. You may not park or be dropped off at the start lines.
Race parking is available in designated lots. To access race day parking please utilize the following addresses: Parking Area 1 (6430 Sky Pointe Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89131 Parking Area 2 (7951 Deer Springs Way Las Vegas, NV 89131). All designated parking is within walking distance of the finish line. Full and half marathon participants will board buses in two separate locations. Full marathon buses will load on N Buffalo Drive and will depart from 4:00-5:00 AM. Half marathon buses will load on Deer Springs Way and will depart from 4:30-5:30 AM. Please arrive on time and make sure you board the correct bus.
Aid Stations
The Aid Stations will be equipped with water, Lemon Lime electrolytes, restrooms and basic medical supplies. In addition some aid stations will include Gu Energy Gels (Chocolate/Vanilla - caffeine & Lemon Sublime/Mandarin Orange – no caffeine), candy, and medical personnel (see aid station map below). **Any personal belongings dropped at aid stations or anywhere along the course will be donated to charity.**
Bag Drop
You will receive a race bag when you pick up your packet at the expo. This bag is for you to take to the starting areas. A number that matches your race bib will be attached to your race bag. This is to identify your bag at the finish area after the race, and you will need your bib to prove ownership of your bag when you pick it up. Please carry any belongings to the starting area in this bag, as opposed to any other personal bags, which cannot be identified by your race number. Bags must be placed in the bag trucks at the starting areas at least 15 minutes prior to the race start.
**Any personal belongings dropped at aid stations or anywhere along the course will be donated to charity.**
Timing & Bibs
The races will be chip-timed using timing tags adhered to the back of your bib. Your time will begin when you cross the starting line and stop when you cross the finish line. Overall prize winners (top 3 in each race) will be determined by gun time, not chip time. Please do not tamper with the timing chips, as they cannot be replaced once linked to your bib number.
Because the timing tag is adhered to the back of your race bib, it is important that you do not cover your bib with clothing or other objects that may interfere with the tag reader when you are crossing the start and finish lines. Furthermore, in order to ensure that race volunteers, officials, and photographers can properly identify you, you must wear your bib on the front of your person in an unobstructed position. If the photographers along the course cannot see your bib number, we will have no way to get your photos to you.
Finish Line Festivities
Once you cross the finish line, stick around and enjoy the exciting atmosphere at the finish. Runners will be greeted with some great food as you celebrate your achievement with friends and family. Check out the vendor booths, get a photo in front of our beautiful backdrops, listen to some great music, give a hand to the rest of the runners coming in, and attend the awards ceremonies to congratulate the winners.
