The story

Las Vegas Marathon in Las Vegas

The Rock n Roll Las Vegas Marathon is a nighttime road race run down and along the Las Vegas Strip, typically held in November, offering marathon, half marathon, and shorter distance options alongside a course lined with live bands performing at intervals. It is part of the national Rock n Roll Running Series, which pairs distance running with live music entertainment along the route.

The Rock n Roll Running Series began in the 1990s with the founding race in San Diego, built around a specific idea: pair the physical challenge of distance running with the energy of live music performed continuously along the course, turning a marathon into something closer to a moving concert than a purely athletic test.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Running a major marathon at night down the illuminated Las Vegas Strip gives this race a visual spectacle few other American marathons can match, neon casino signage and Strip landmarks lit up as the backdrop for runners rather than the daytime city streets typical of most marathons

02

The mystery stays covered

As part of the Rock n Roll Running Series, the race integrates live bands performing at intervals along the entire course, turning the run itself into a moving concert experience rather than a purely athletic event, a format the series pioneered and that has become closely associated with Las Vegas particular blend of entertainment and spectacle
