The upcoming Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Marathon has moved its start line and race festival grounds, and organizers say runners will have several chances to commemorate the Oct. 1 shooting.
Competitor Group official Dan Cruz says Friday that the Nov. 12 evening race will start in front of the New York-New York resort on the Las Vegas Strip.
That's about 1 mile north of last year's start near the Mandalay Bay, from which a gunman killed 58 people in the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
Cruz says pre-race activities for the marathon and half-marathon will be between the New York-New York and Monte Carlo casinos and the T-Mobile Arena — not at the open-air festival venue across from Mandalay Bay.
The changes mean runners will twice pass the massacre site.
