Finally pulled the trigger and registered for the 2010 Rock'n'Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon.
As Zappos is the sponsor, the $10 promo code ROCKWITHZAPPOS worked and is good until Nov. 28, I think. Yet the savings is negated entirely by the $11.04 Active network processing fee. Yikes!
The goal will be to earn the "Desert Double Down" medal for running both the Las Vegas Half Marathon and the Rock'n'Roll Arizona Half Marathon on Jan. 16, six weeks later.
It's a pretty smart move by the Competitor group, which runs the series of marathons and half marathons around the country. They're taking a page from video game play to encourage people to earn "achievements" by running in more than one of their races in a year.
For example, you can earn a 26.2 miles Rock'n'Roll encore medal for running in two of their events in a calendar year.
