5K-Läufe in der Nähe von Whitney

The Zombie Run 5K and 1 Mile Walk is a fun-run event centered on a zombie chase, featuring a 5K race and a 1-mile walk option. Participants wear flags and navigate a course where zombies attempt to tag them. The focus is on remaining quick, alert, and engaged rather than on race times. The course challenges runners to employ speed, endurance, and strength while evading zombies. The event emphasizes the collective experience: costumes, chases, and the "survive the course" scenario are prioritized over mile markers or typical road-race procedures.

Twilight Red Rock is an evening running event in Red Rock Canyon, west of the Las Vegas valley. It features a half marathon, 10K, and 5K. The longer race starts before the shorter distances, and all three finish after sunset. Runners begin in daylight, observe the canyon darken, and continue as the sky transitions to stars and moonlight. The course takes runners through a prominent natural area near Las Vegas, with Joshua trees present and the neon lights of the Strip visible in the far distance. This is not a downtown road race or a casino-adjacent fun run; the focus is being in the desert canyon after dark. A bus option is available for transport between the Las Vegas Strip and the race area.

Thousands of runners and walkers dressed as Santa fill Downtown Las Vegas for the Las Vegas Great Santa Run. This 5K run and one-mile walk is based at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, with the start and finish lines in the same location.

The route is designed for accessibility rather than competitive racing, welcoming participation by stroller, wheelchair, walker, and pet. Paid registration includes a five-piece Santa suit, with participants selecting either the traditional red or Opportunity Village blue, along with a finisher's medal and a swag bag while supplies last. The start and finish area features live music, food, and drinks. The event has also provided a virtual option, with packet pickup or shipping available for those participating remotely.

The route begins at Cornerstone Park and follows the Pittman Wash Trail. Participants are encouraged to wear festive attire, such as ugly sweaters, elf costumes, reindeer antlers, and light-up scarves. The first 300 registrants will receive a dry-fit shirt, and all participants get a souvenir medal. Packet pickup is available at Cornerstone Park, with options for advance pickup before race day and on race morning.
