Local runner Bernie Wlock recently organized a trip for a group of runners to take part in the Las Vegas Rock N Roll Marathon. A group of dedicated distance runners joined up to hit one of the biggest marathons Wlock has ever attended.
"I wasn't sure what to expect coming in as this was probably the largest marathon I have entered, there were thousands of people running and I was really impressed with how the marathon was organized," said Wlock.
The Rock N Roll Marathon Series has 29 stops all over the world and the Las Vegas edition of the marathon series is one of the longest running in the United States with the Las Vegas Marathon being an event since 1967 before being introduced into the series in 2009. The race runs along the strip and throughout most of Las Vegas Boulevard as a half marathon and partners live music and bands with the sights of Las Vegas as its main attraction.
Wlock was happy with how the event went and the group he organized and said he and other runners have plans to run around Canada and in Saskatchewan with Wlock planning on doing a 10k event in high altitude in Colorado as his next big running challenge.
