The REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon was a point-to-point downhill road marathon from the forests of Kyle Canyon on Mt Charleston to the city of Las Vegas, Nevada. It was part of the REVEL Race Series, run by the company behind the Brooksee events, and was held on a Saturday in spring with a half marathon that started at the same time. The marathon began at about 7,600 feet above sea level and ended at about 2,500 feet, a net drop of more than 5,000 feet that runners used to chase Boston qualifying times. The time limit was based on a 15-minute-per-mile pace, a 6 hour 33 minute marathon, with a 6:00 am start. The first edition was on 7 May 2016, when more than 600 marathoners started and snow fell a few minutes into the race. The last edition was on 28 March 2026, with about 1,200 marathon finishers. The organiser cancelled the planned 2027 race in August 2026 because registration was lower than expected, and no new date has been announced.

The Race
Las Vegas
The REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon and Half had their debut on 7 May 2016 in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area. More than 600 marathoners started at the top of Kyle Canyon, and snow began falling a few minutes into the race. Gary Krugger won in 2:33:16, and more than 1,150 runners started the half marathon.
On 28 August 2026 the REVEL Race Series emailed entrants to say the 2027 race, planned for 3 April, was cancelled because registration was lower than expected. Entrants were offered a transfer to another event instead. The downhill course had been a popular Boston qualifier for years, but in June 2025 Boston added a downhill index to qualifying times. The 2026 race had about 1,200 finishers after 2,455 in 2025.
