Las Vegas is known for its casinos, lights and various forms of entertainment, but for one night only, the Strip was partially transformed into a marathon course as runners from around the globe converged on the city to race.

In the end, Heather Bray and Tommy Rivers Puzey emerged as Vegas’ biggest victors on Sunday at the Rock ’n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon.
Nothing shook up Bray as she cruised to an easy win in an Elvis Presley costume.
Bray, a runner, lawyer and mother who now lives in Amsterdam, beat second-place finisher Emily Rollins by 6:42. She had the best time at the 6.2-mile mark and never looked back as she slowly extended the gap between her and the field.
The Las Vegas Marathon winner, who averaged 7:22 per mile, is also an accomplished world-record hula hoop runner.

On the men’s side, Puzey won his second consecutive Las Vegas Marathon thanks to a time of 2:28:04, beating second-place finisher Jacob Krolick and third-place runner Meng-Tsung Chu.
Puzey, a professional runner from Flagstaff, Arizona, ran an average of 5:40 per mile.
The top three finishers all competed in the event’s elite marathon division.

Adam Cordell was the top marathon runner outside the elite group, ending his race with a time of 2:41:58. That mark was good enough for fourth overall, regardless of division. Markus Nett rounded out the top five.
