Gallop into a new year of fitness and cultural celebration at the Lunar New Year Run 5K/10K/13.1 in vibrant Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday, February 7, 2026. This festive event embraces the spirit of the Year of the Horse, symbolizing energy, freedom, and forward momentum, inviting runners and walkers of all ages and paces to participate. Choose your challenge from the 1-mile, 5K, 10K, or the demanding 13.1-mile half-marathon distances, all kicking off from the iconic Welcome to Las Vegas Sign. Runners can expect typical race day conditions to be crisp and clear, with highs around 62F and lows near 41F, and only a 3% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.
This unique run is designed for a stress-free and supportive experience, with a focus on community and personal achievement. The course is typically a road race with out-and-back loops, offering a relatively flat terrain ideal for chasing personal bests or enjoying a leisurely stroll. Aid stations are strategically placed at the start line, providing water and snacks approximately every 1.5 miles on the out-and-back routes, though participants are encouraged to carry additional hydration if needed.
Participants will be part of a smaller, private group run with capped waves, ensuring a warm and encouraging atmosphere. Each entry includes a fantastic swag bag, featuring a running T-shirt and a well-deserved finisher's medal, plus an invitation to join local running clubs to continue your fitness journey. Optional timing is available, allowing you to track your progress with an app or have coordinators assist, maintaining the event's relaxed focus on celebrating culture, fitness, and fresh beginnings.
