Event Overview
The Run Juneteenth Day event in Las Vegas is a community-focused running and walking event held at Sunset Park. This gathering celebrates resilience and progress through a private, small-group format. The event is designed to be stress-free, with no complicated equipment or required setup. Participants of all ages and paces are welcome, though those under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian.
The event offers several distance options to accommodate different fitness levels:
- 1 Mile Family Fun Run
- 5K
- 10K
- 13.1 Half-Marathon
Participation and Timing
Participants run in waves to maintain a small group setting. Timing for this event is optional, as there are no timing chips provided. Runners who wish to track their performance can use personal apps or request assistance from the on-site coordinators to record their results, which are later posted online.
Swag and Logistics
The event utilizes a direct-to-participant shipping model for its commemorative items. A swag bag, which includes a running t-shirt, a finisher's medal, and a towel or other giveaway, is mailed directly to the address provided during registration. Because gear is shipped in advance, there is no packet pickup required at the race location. Participants receive their race bibs on the morning of the event.
A virtual run option is also available for those who cannot attend in person. This version includes a digital training pack and allows runners to submit their results remotely to receive their medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
