Vegas Long Run Route Help

If you want to stay close to the hotel/strip, head South down Las Vegas Blvd. Depending on your tolerence for people and traffic you could start at the Wynn, or for a more open run take the shuttle/tram/whatever and start at the Mandalay Bay. You can then run south on Las Vegas Blvd as far as you want. If you want to drive a little farther to the start head to the 'M' resort parking lot first.

If you've got a bit more time, head out to Red Rock, park at the entrance and run the loop backwards (head up the road towards the exit). Well worth the time and very scenic. The entire loop and then back to the parking area would be ~16 miles with some nice hills.

Hey Chris, 

You didn't say if you had access to a vehicle.  The Red Rock suggestion is great.  That is where most of us in the northwest ride and run, but you are almost an equal distance to Lake Mead, (in the shadow of the Hoover Dam), where you can OWS, bike, or run in the park.

Look up Swim 2000, no too far off the strip for your jammers andother gear.  They have good prices and are very friendly.  Tell them you are a triathlete and ask for a discount.

If you want a group to run with, look up the Red Rock Running Company.  They have a group run every Wednesday at 5:30 and love visitors.

Also if you want to rent a bike while in town, Pro Cyclery, or Las Vegas Cyclery both have great deals.  We have many cycling clubs in town, so feel free to contact us to ride along.  bikinglasvegas.com has all the rides scheduled.
