Thomas Rivers Puzey won the Humana Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon for the second consecutive year

Thomas Rivers Puzey of Flagstaff took first place Sunday with a time of 2 hours, 28 minutes and 4 seconds, according to marathon organizers.

It was a shade slower than Puzey's winning time for the 26-plus mile contest last year: 2 hours, 25 minutes and 53 seconds.

Heather Bray from the Netherlands was the women's champion with a final time of 3 hours and 13 minutes.

In the half-marathon, Tyler Day and Brittney Feivor were the winners, with respective times of 1 hour, 3 minutes, 48 seconds and 1 hour, 13 minutes and 20 seconds.

The annual marathon closes the Las Vegas Strip to give runners free access and a big party for the weekend.
