REVEL Mt. Charleston Marathon Description
The REVEL Mt. Charleston Marathon descends from over 7,600 feet in the Spring Mountains outside Las Vegas, dropping more than 5,000 feet through Kyle Canyon’s forested terrain toward the city’s outskirts. The Boston-qualifying, downhill course is a favorite for runners chasing personal bests, with a half marathon option run the same day each spring. Fully stocked aid stations every two miles and effort-based pacers support runners along the descent.
Always check the official race website for the most accurate and up-to-date race information and logistics.

REVEL Mt. Charleston Marathon Additional Details:
Every finisher earns a medal REVEL bills as “equal to your effort,” but the real reward here is what waits at the finish: complimentary massages, cold plunges, TENS units, and massage chairs, recovery options most marathons don’t offer at all. Aid stations appear every two miles, fully stocked with water, electrolytes, fruit, and gels, and reviewers note they rarely run short even late in the race. The Finish Line Festival, presented by Rio Las Vegas, keeps the celebration going with food, drinks, and vendors in a genuinely festive atmosphere. Between the smooth downhill grade and the finish-line pampering, it’s built a reputation as one of REVEL’s most complete race-day experiences.
