Las Vegas Fun: Rock N Roll Marathon

November 17, 2014 by Raquel 6 Comments

Sharing is caring!

This weekend we went to Las Vegas for a quick trip to the Silver State. If you have never been to Las Vegas, let me tell you that it is a destination filled with fun, excitement and bliss. I wanted to share some of the highlights from our trip with you. The weather was chilly this weekend with highs in the 50's, which may not be cold to you, but to this California girl, it means I pull out the boots, scarves and heavy coat.

Las Vegas Rock N Rock Marathon

So many events take place every week in Las Vegas. In fact, I had just missed Food, Fight Write which ended the day I got there, but hope to make it next year.

One of the most striking images from this weekend, was this shot from the famous Las Vegas Strip.

The Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon benefitting the Crohns & Colitis Foundation of America was held this weekend. As part of the Rock 'n' Roll Running Weekend, more than 43k runners rocked the strip at night on Saturday for the inaugural 5k and on Sunday for the half marathon and marathon.

    Any reason to go to Vegas can't be bad. Did you go as a participant or as an observer? I'll bet the concerts were great too!

      I went as an observer Ann. I love walking but I am not a runner. I admire those that do. Yes, I love Vegas. 🙂

    I went to New Jersey this weekend which was not nearly as fun!
    The weather looks so great there! My brother lived in Vegas for 11 years.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
