Marathon may tie up traffic on Kyle Canyon Road on Saturday

Updated April 27, 2018 - 11:27 am

Motorists headed to Mount Charleston on Saturday should expect up to 20-minute delays to make way for a pack of nearly 3,800 runners, the Nevada Department of Transportation said.

The Revel Mount Charleston marathon will tie up traffic along Kyle Canyon Road, between the Mount Charleston Lodge parking lot and U.S. Highway 95 in northwest Las Vegas from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, NDOT spokesman Tony Illia said.

During that time, Illia said that a pilot car will clear a path for roughly 1,400 runners expected to participate in the full marathon and another 2,400 for the half-marathon.

Additionally, Oso Blanco Road will be closed to traffic between Gilcrease Avenue and Kyle Canyon Road during both races.
