A Merry Christmas Run in Las Vegas
A Merry Christmas Run is scheduled for December 26, 2026 at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign on Las Vegas Boulevard South in Las Vegas, NV. The event includes in-person and virtual options and lists sponsors such as GATORADE and partner organizations.
Distances offered:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half marathon 13.1
- Virtual run
- Family 1 Mile Fun Run
Organizers run the event as smaller, private group waves with a cap per wave. Waves are filled on a first come, first serve basis; if waves sell out participants may join a wait list or select the virtual option. Coordinators provide on-site support and remain available for a limited period after the first wave.
Timing is optional and no timing chips are used. Participants may track times with apps such as Strava or RunKeeper and submit results for online posting, or request coordinator assistance with timekeeping. Race bibs are provided on race day; packet pickup is not required.
Swag and services: race T shirts are shipped to the US mailing address provided, with shirts mailed the week of the race. Participants receive a finisher medal, a finisher towel or giveaway, a digital training pack, online results and a certificate of completion. A technical running shirt is available as an optional upgrade for an additional five dollars.
The event notes a charitable element: organizers donate one dollar for each mile logged after the race to one of their partner charities. Registration fees vary by distance and option. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
