Las Vegas Great Santa Run & Family Walk

About this adventure

One of the most cheerful holiday spectacles in the nation, the Las Vegas Great Santa Run gathers thousands of community members of all ages dressed from head to toe in red Santa suits to support Opportunity Village. Taking over the car-free streets of Downtown Las Vegas, the event includes a 5K competitive run and an accessible 1-mile fun walk specifically geared for families, toddlers in strollers, and four-legged furry friends. Every participant receives a five-piece Santa suit, runner's medal, and treats. Along the course, families enjoy energetic performances by marching bands, caroling elves, stilt walkers, and celebrity grand marshals, culminating in a giant confetti party.
