Celebrate Independence Day with a thrilling start at the inaugural Las Vegas 4th of July 5K and 10K, set to take place on Saturday, July 4, 2026, in Las Vegas, NV. Hosted by Elite Sports CA, this patriotic event kicks off from Bruce Trent Park, offering runners the choice of a 5K or 10K on USATF Certified Courses. The scenic bike path provides a mostly flat and fast route, making it an excellent opportunity for personal bests while remaining very walker-friendly.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 105F and lows around 80F and a 0% chance of precipitation; the early start times of 7:30 am for the 10K and 7:45 am for the 5K are key to beating the desert heat. The course is well-supported with plenty of water stations to ensure hydration. Beyond the race, participants will be celebrated with over $100 worth of premium swag, including a custom finisher shirt, hat, a commemorative medal, and a reusable tote bag.

The festive atmosphere continues at the post-race expo, where all finishers can enjoy a complimentary plate of delicious street tacos.
