ALL RACES LEAD TO THE STRIP: ROCK ‘N’ ROLL® RUNNING SERIES LAS VEGAS ANNOUNCES REGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR THE WORLD’s LARGEST RUN PARTY
Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series Las Vegas returns to Las Vegas Boulevard on February 22-23, 2025, providing runners with once-in-a-lifetime experiences
The Rock ‘n’ Roll® Running Series Las Vegas has announced that registration is now open for the events taking place on February 22-23, 2025. The Start Line Village and the race Start Line will be located at the heart of Las Vegas entertainment, specifically at Toshiba Plaza and the New York-New York Hotel & Casino encompassing a two-acre space for the ultimate experience at the World’s Largest Running Party. Participants can enjoy a wide range of entertainment options as they join the festivities and prepare for the race.
An event unlike anything else in the world, the Saturday Night 5K kicks off the weekend with a downtown Las Vegas course finishing right on Fremont Street—a unique experience you won’t want to miss, even if doing the Sunday distances. The Official Runners Party at Downtown Las Vegas Events Center welcomes everyone for an epic celebration complete with DJ battles, more photo ops, games, food trucks, drinks, dancing, and an incredible festival vibe.
The World’s Largest Running Party kicks off on Sunday evening with the Start Line Village at Toshiba Plaza located outside T-Mobile Arena, home of the Vegas Golden Knights. The Start Village is complete with more DJs, photo ops, the cast of the Vegas Golden Knights, and more, before heading over to the Start Line right on Las Vegas Boulevard for the Half Marathon and 10K. As one of the only events to shut down Las Vegas Boulevard, this one-of-a-kind course will take you past all the iconic sights and landmarks, including the Welcome sign, casinos, and all the bright lights of Vegas that light up while the sun starts to set.
In 2025, the on-course entertainment is a completely redesigned experience! Runners will be immersed in different themes along the course, with each stage taking them on a unique musical journey. These themes include Noches en The Strip, Lucky in Love, Vintage Vegas, Honky Tonk Blvd, and more. Stage themes are being unveiled one by one on social media, so be sure to follow along for the remaining reveals.
The party doesn’t stop when you cross the Finish Line, with the Finish Line Party Zone taking runners through the ultimate celebration. Crossing the finish line in front of the Bellagio fountains, runners will be greeted with champagne toast, new and improved glow-in-the-dark medals, photo ops, disco balls, dance floors, DJs, and more. Finish the night with one of the runner parties at participating clubs.
Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas was one of the first large-scale events to take over the famous Las Vegas Strip when it launched in 2005. It remains the only event to offer attendees the chance to experience one of the world’s major attractions up close and personal.
