Lace up your shoes for a run with purpose at the Earth Day Recycled 5K, taking place on Saturday, April 18, 2026, in Henderson, NV. This unique event, hosted annually by the City of Henderson, celebrates both fitness and environmental stewardship. The 5K course unfolds along the scenic Union Pacific Railroad Trail, adjacent to Railroad Lake, offering a pleasant and accessible route for all fitness levels. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 80°F and lows around 58°F, alongside a minimal 1% chance of precipitation, providing ideal spring weather to enjoy the outdoors.

Participants will receive bibs, t-shirts, and medals that are thoughtfully recycled from previous events, minimizing waste and honoring the spirit of Earth Day. Beyond the race itself, runners are invited to contribute to a trail clean-up effort at Cornerstone Park and along the Union Pacific Railroad Trail from 11 AM to noon, directly impacting the local environment. This community-focused event is a perfect opportunity to enjoy a refreshing 5K and contribute to a cleaner, greener Henderson.
