San Diego native Josh Cox won the 2010 Las Vegas Rock N’ Roll Marathon on Sunday with a time of 2:25:06.
40-year old Dorota Gruca, today on her birthday, was the female marathon winner finishing in 2:44:38. What a great birthday gift to herself.
The race, sponsored by Zappos, featured nearly 30,000 runners for both the full and half marathon. Naturally, dozens of runners dressed as Elvis Presley were found throughout the course and of all speeds.
The course starts at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip and runs up the entire Vegas strip, by all of the casinos, until runners turn west around mile 9.
Scott Bauhs won the half-marathon in a time of 1:02:38.
Jen Rhines, a 3-time Olympian, was the first woman to finish the half-marathon, in a time of 1:14:56.
