10K races near Paradise

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.

The Houston Resolution Run begins and ends at Fish Plaza in downtown Houston, offering a year-end race focused on New Year’s goals. The event includes a 12.3-mile Nearly Half Marathon, a 10k, a 5k, a Family 1 Mile Run/Walk, and a virtual option. The longer races are scheduled between 7:30 and 10:00, while the family mile runs from 9:00 to 10:00, allowing walkers and children to participate together without completing the full distance. The race embraces the resolution theme through the #RunYourResolution tag, family-friendly activities, discounts for pairs registering together, and a Houston Resolution Run playlist selected by DJ SkaiLive.
