    I participated in the 2013 Glo Run and was planning on running in the 2014 event (which was…read moreunceremoniously cancelled). :( It's too bad since the Glo Run is AMAZING!! The Glo Run was held Downtown on October 14th and took place in the evening. I believe the race started at 8PM. Participants were dressed for the part - tutus, colorful wigs, and creative/skimpy attire were all the rage. The pre-party was held at the Commonwealth. Background music consisted of, you guessed it, EDM! The finish line featured a stage with a DJ. Giant beach balls were being tossed around in the crowd and confetti bursts were being launched. I truly had a lot of fun. I'm hoping the Glo Run will happen in 2015 because I would love to participate again. I paid around $35 for registration, which included a tshirt. Early registration that starts way in advance starts at $25. YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #36

Good music, positive vibe, lots of lights/ neon, happy people, rainbows, tutus, fairy wings, balloons, wigs, I got a bunch of freebies: glow-in-the-dark bands, Glow Run t-shirt, snacks, etc. I think I paid $35 or $45 for early registration with a student discount. I got to burn calories, have a good time and support AFAN. There were runners of different ages. Some ran with their costumed babies on a stroller. Little girls passing me. LOL. All had fun. The weather tonight was just right. It wasn't hot out. They had water stations, I'd like to say, at every mile. Before I knew it, I've already completed the 7k. I'd do this again!

    This is a fun non-competitive themed 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk that anyone can participate in and…read morehave a good time. The Color Run is social media friendly af.. The 2020 event was very well organized.. Starting Line: They play upbeat music and the emcee is high energy to keep you hype until you're released on the course. They were throwing out free tshirts in the corral to people who were dancing away. lol The group funnels into the starting area and they release the participants in waves so the color stations don't get congested. Smart Color Stations: You get a white color run shirt to wear on race day. you run through the 4 color stations where the volunteers douse you with colored powder. Blue, yellow, green and Pink were the colors this race. The powder kind of smells like cotton candy to me but please don't try eating it. FYI. the powder washed off easily in the wash. =) Bonus Foam Station: There's a foam station you run through that was a blast. Your shoes get kinda soggy but you can get some cool pic opps in there for sure. Finish Line: The energy continues as a DJ has everyone dancing and they're throwing more powder out into the crowd for a fun dance floor. There's more props for more social media moments, a Color Run store to buy more gear and vendors setup with booths for samples. Overall, this is a great run to do while drinking with your friends on the course. Think of it as a moving colorful party on a Saturday morning. The race crew vibe is energetic, happy and so are the runners. See you at the next one! =)

    I participated in the 2014 Color Run and declined to do the 2015 run because the price was ridic…read more Even on Livingsocial and Groupon, the going rate was $45! The 2014 packet included a t-shirt, temporary tattoo, sweatband, bag, and a packet of color to use as you saw fit. BTW it was a lot cheaper last year ($25). The course was held in Downtown Fremont and drew a huge amount of people. They had to release runners in waves every 5 minutes or so. Needless to day, I didn't start the race on time because I was stuck among the crowds for 20+ minutes. There were points during the race where volunteers powdered you with color. The color is basically dyed cornstarch, so it's safe, although you're likely to have colorful boogers for the next few days!! Color Runs have become massively popular in the 5k fun run arena. Yes, they're pretty fun but after doing 5+ different variations on Color Runs they start to get a little old. PRO TIP: This a run for casual runners. Also, tutus are a hit here.

    Apparently Facebook ads work. Had I known all the issues that this race would have, I might not…read morehave signed up- but at the end of the day I got to eat chocolate after going for a run on the Strip, so it can't all be bad. PROS: + The bowl of finish line fondue is actually really good, tasted like Ghirardelli. + One of the few runs to use the Strip area (Linq/Flamingo/Paradise section). + Super cozy zip up sweater instead of your usual cheap participant tee. + Training program and pacers available for the route for beginning runners. CONS: - Stupid early start time, likely due to the chaos of shutting down the Strip. 7:15 start with 6AM suggested arrival was not disclosed until a couple weeks before the event. And then we didn't even start on time! And why was the 5K before the 15K instead of after?! - No day-of packet pickup, had to go to Friday or Saturday afternoon "fitness expo" at the Linq to get your stuff. Tons of weekend Strip traffic, and there was no expo. I didn't stick around, but apparently there was no after-party either as advertised. - No finishers medal for the 5K. This is not explicitly spelled out on their website and only reluctantly answered when directly asking their social media manager. Really? Like it's so hard to leave the "1" off of the "15K" medal?! - One hydration/treat station for 5K route. Site advertises sweets throughout the run but heavily favors the 15K participants (they get 5 stops). Not sure if I'd sign up for this event again, at least not the 5K distance. Certain organization decisions make it seem like 5Kparticipants are not as valued as those doing 15K. Rather than subtly diss those who aren't up for the longer distance, maybe don't offer it at all.

    3.5 stars Likes:…read more- Awesome finisher's medal (has amazing and accurate details of landmarks in Las Vegas, distance, name of the run and year on the medal. It's a nice size and is pretty heavy without being gaudy. The ribbon it comes on also says the name of the run and distance. If you collect running medals, you'll know why this matters.) - Relatively flat course with shade here and there - Gender specific jackets (because Tshirts are a dime a dozen and let's face it, men and women have different curves) and a thin plastic draw string knapsack included with registration - Greatly appreciate the pacers & volunteers; police did a great job of blocking traffic and keeping runners safe, frequent mile markers so you're not just guessing how far you've gotten - Chocolate fondue was pipping hot and suuuuuper delicious. Stuff to dip in it was perfect. - Nice photo opportunities in front of their (3) blow up displays. - Had chocolate chips, M&Ms, strawberry marshmallows & chocolate marshmallows throughout the run. Dislikes: - No expo or after party as promised. This was really disappointing consider how much they promote and it's a well known and popular run. We booked an extra couple of days anticipating an expo with sponsors, freebies, etc. - Pretty weak giveaways (just papers: discount coupons and flyers) - Free photos, but they were only at the finish line. Expect only one to two pictures of yourself, max!

This was amazing! We came for the Family Day Special (three person minimum) and it has been the best value for our money this whole trip! The kids have done VR, the Cirque O show, and arcades, and this has them all beat. They have different cars for rent and all the stuff you need to make your own if you want. The cars they gave us were a little touchy around corners so it does take a bit of skill. I was afraid 1hour would be too long but, as I am writing this, I am considering paying for another hour. They have two racetracks and the kids were on one. Some other adults we didn't know were on the other track and they were laughing and enjoying themselves as much as our kids were. Kids get free toy cars depending on how long they rent cars and the owner let them choose. Chat with the owner to learn more about his history and the history of the shop. He has won tons of awards for his own racing! The lap counter runs on DOS on an old computer and is connected to a dot matrix printer! Check the website for hours and calendar. I am sad that we can't have a birthday party here but it is definitely something worth doing with children if you get the chance. Shoot, if I am ever in Vegas with just adults, I will come back!

    The Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas Marathon & Half Marathon is one of those truly unique race experiences…read more One of the reasons is that it's because of running down the strip at night with all the neon lights, the music, and people cheering for you that it will be so hard for me to forget the experience! The last time I was able to participate was 11 years ago during the 5k which was hosted, at the time, at the SLS, in the evening, which had an incredibly electric atmosphere. This time around, I had been looking forward to participating in the 5k on Fremont Street Saturday evening and was very excited about it especially with the energy of downtown Las Vegas and the fun party like vibe that makes the rock 'n roll series so much different than others. Unfortunately, after surgery I was not cleared to run. I was sad that I couldn't participate in the race, but it was still great to go down and support other runners in the community! I was able to get the help from the services team in the Expo Hall at bib pickup on Friday afternoon and they helped me understand what was going on. They told me I could still come out to the finish line on race day and get my medal. This really helped me out. Even though I wasn't going to be able to run the actual race, being able to still be a part of this experience, standing at the finish line and getting the medal, while supporting other runners, allowed me to finally complete something that I have been waiting to do for years again! I enjoyed the walk around the expo hall to visit the vendor booths to purchase official race merchandise and view new running gear. In the atmosphere of a race weekend there is always such energy with runners getting their bibs and shirts, and talking about what they plan to accomplish over the weekend. Even though I wasn't racing this year, the atmosphere of the expo hall helped me remember how much I enjoy going to races!

    I've ran this race 4 times and they definitely have the logistics down…read more Race Expo: Located at Resorts World, the packet pick up is efficient and easy. There are tons of volunteer staff to move large crowds through quickly. There's tons of IG amounts in the tent and the merchandise and vendor offerings are great. Everything you need for race day is there. Starting Line: Located by the T-Mobile Center, it's a little cramped at the beginning as the 10K and Half Marathon runners are starting together. There are plenty of signs to help get you to the right starting corral. The race started promptly at 4:30 PM which I appreciated. The starter MCs on the microphone brought high energy and kept the racers motivated Course: You head South on Las Vegas Boulevard then turn back and run towards downtown, get back on the Strip and finish in front of the Bellagio fountains. There are plenty of water & gel stations so you don't have to worry about carrying a lot of water with you. Tons of porta potties throughout the course keeps everyone comfortable and moving. Finish Line: It's a little crowded, cramped and chaotic at the end but at that point you're just happy that it's over. Massage tents, snacks, water and other refreshments are ready for you along with the finisher's medal. All the medals have been quality for all the races I did. As a local, I'll keep running this race as long as I can. The organization makes and vibe makes it an easy call. Holiday Hack: The registration fee goes on a deep sale during the holidays. Check on their website on when that 24 hour discount day is to get even more bang for your buck. Cheers!

Our tickets were for Day 1 in the grandstands at West Harmon and the schedule included F1 Practice and F1 Academy Qualifying. It was quite chilly, so our bubble jackets came in handy. We lucked out on the rain, too! It was clear as day, but hit hard the day after. The big screen from the stands came in clutch, as we could watch the race from different sections and while they were in the pit. And getting real time stats from the app was nice. At West Harmon, the track was sponsored by Louis Vuitton. There was also a live DJ, a Pepsi Challenge, an F1 Design Lab, merchandise store, food & beverage, and a Silent Disco section! Getting to the West Harmon gate was a nightmare! We ended up walking 3 miles because volunteers who we thought knew how to get to the gate, actually didn't. However, leaving the event was a breeze. We discovered that the best way to get back to our car at MGM, was by the monorail!! 2025 Winners: First place. 01. Max Verstappen. Netherlands Second place. 02. George Russell.
