On a cobalt blue background in the upper left quarter is a five-pointed silver star between two sprays of sagebrush crossed to form a half wreath; across the top of the wreath is a golden scroll with the words, in black letters, "Battle Born". The name "Nevada" is beneath the star in gold letters. The current Nevada State Flag design was adopted March 26, 1929, and revised in 1991.

Devine (I believe now defunct) was the race organizer....or rather disorganizer.  This race had the most disorganized start and finish area that I have ever witnessed.  Elite racing acquired this event soon after the 2006 version and it became part of the Rock n Roll series.

The first half of the race was really cool running down the Vegas Strip at 6 am.  The return portion of the race was on the back side of the strip with a head wind so tough and boring.
