A race crew member holds up water for runners during the Zappos.com Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Marathon Sunday, December 4, 2011.  A spokeswoman for the Southern Nevada Health District said the agency is trying to find a cause of the reported illnesses during the marathon. Some runners complained about the taste of the water but people could have gotten sick from a common source that has nothing to do with the water, she said.
