Lace up your running shoes and prepare for the sweetest race of the year at the Run for Chocolate 5K/10K/13.1 LAS VEGAS! Set to take place on Saturday, July 4, 2026, in vibrant Las Vegas, Nevada, this event offers a deliciously fun experience for runners and walkers of all ages and fitness levels. Choose your challenge from the 13.1-mile Half-Marathon, 10K, 5K, or a Family 1 Mile Fun Run, ensuring there's a perfect distance for everyone ready to earn their treats. Typical race day conditions in early July bring highs around 105F and lows around 80F with no chance of precipitation, making the early 7:30 AM start time crucial for a comfortable experience.
This isn't your average race; it's a smaller, private group run with waves, designed for a warm, stress-free setting supported by dedicated coordinators. The course, which sees participants start near the iconic Welcome to Las Vegas Sign, is a straightforward route focused on the running experience rather than challenging terrain, with course maps emailed directly to participants. What truly sets this event apart is the promise of chocolate waiting for you at the finish line, making every step a little sweeter. Participants can also enjoy the convenience of no packet pickup, as a high-quality running t-shirt, finisher's medal, and a towel are shipped directly to their homes, with race bibs provided on race day.
Embrace the joy of running with optional timing, allowing you to track your progress at your own pace without the pressure of chips. This event consistently sells out quickly, a testament to its popularity and unique, supportive atmosphere. Join the Run for Chocolate in Las Vegas for a memorable blend of fitness, fun, and delectable rewards, and even receive an invitation to local running clubs to continue your fitness journey.
