The Lowdown

The Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon is the headline race of the Rock 'n' Roll Running Series' annual Las Vegas weekend, run entirely after dark down a closed Las Vegas Strip. The event traces its roots to 1967 as one of the oldest marathons in the United States; the full marathon distance was retired after 2019, leaving the 13.1-mile Half Marathon as the race's longest current distance. Runners start on Las Vegas Blvd. at New York-New York and finish on Las Vegas Blvd. at The Bellagio, passing under the Strip's neon skyline with live bands and DJs stationed along the closed roadway. Race weekend also includes a 10K over the same course on Sunday and a Saturday-night 5K through the Fremont Street Entertainment District downtown. CELSIUS is the event's current title sponsor, and the Rock 'n' Roll Running Series is part of the IRONMAN Group.
