The Memorial Day Run is a set of road events held at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign on Las Vegas Boulevard South in Las Vegas, NV on May 23, 2026. The event frames running as a way to honor and remember military service, and includes in-person and virtual participation options.
Distances offered include:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half marathon 13.1

The event uses a capped wave system; waves are filled on a first come, first served basis and there is a wait list and a virtual alternative when waves reach capacity. Timing is optional and there are no timing chips; participants may track time with an app and submit results for posting. Race bibs are provided on race day and organizers ship participant shirts and swag to US mailing addresses. Swag items listed include a running T-shirt, a finisher towel or giveaway, a finisher medal, and a digital training pack; a technical running shirt is available as a paid upgrade.
Organizers send a final update the Wednesday before the race with course maps and details. Fundraising is optional and the organizers donate one dollar for each mile logged after the race to partner charities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
