A Health Expo precedes the event at the Las Vegas Convention Center on Friday and Saturday offering free samples as well as sales of merchandise targeted to athletic minded individuals, although anyone may attend.

Admission is free and there is a $10 charge for parking.

Official events taking place during the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon include the:

• Run Thru Wedding Ceremony that will take place just prior to the Marathon in a three minute ceremony.
• Run Vegas as Elvi event where hundreds of runners are expected to dress up as the late Elvis Presley.

There will be plenty of entertainment with multiple bands performing on various stages that have been set up along the course and plenty of food to prepare the runners beforehand with nourishing, healthy brunches and numerous after parties to celebrate afterwards.

For those that live in the Las Vegas area or are visiting on Rock “n” roll Marathon weekend, the Sunday Marathon causes chaos throughout Las Vegas because of road closures so it is best to be prepared beforehand and allow extra time for travelling.

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon begins at Mandalay Bay and ends in the parking lot adjacent to the Mirage.

Along the way, runners will travel north on Las Vegas Blvd before turning around and heading back.

Rock ‘n’ Roll marathon participants can find final information here.

The path closed for the marathon will be closed from 2 p.m. to approximately 10 p.m.
