Las Vegas Santa run

Christmas is coming early for Las Vegas! The beloved Las Vegas Great Santa Run will ring in its monumental 15th year with a highly-anticipated Registration Launch Party on Thursday, June 20th. Hosted by Las Vegas nonprofit Opportunity Village, the launch will encourage early bird sign-ups with a host of special guests and performances at Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas.

Prospective runners are invited to join the celebration to receive a limited-time $22 registration price. Beginning at 10:30 a.m., CHIPPENDALES along with FIT4MOM – the nation’s leading prenatal and postnatal fitness program for mothers – will take over the Main Street Stage with performer George Dare to engage attendees and passersby in an energetic exercise program to the signature tune of “Run Santa Run!” Also taking the stage will be the Tony Marques Band and local sports mascots from the Las Vegas Lights, Las Vegas Aces, and Las Vegas Aviators. With performers from theBoyd Gaming Fine & Performing Arts Program at Opportunity Village and more!

There will be a few special announcements including the unveiling of the 15th anniversary race medal, it was chosen by the public through online voting. Medals were created by Running Imp, the official medal provider of the Las Vegas Great Santa Run.

This year, Opportunity Village has partnered with LaLa Photography as the official photographer of the Las Vegas Great Santa Run. They will be on-hand at the registration launch to capture all of the special moments.

Circle K will continue the tradition of serving as the presenting sponsor of Opportunity Village’s Great Santa Run. The Las Vegas Great Santa Run is one of Opportunity Village’s largest annual fundraisers and helps enhance the lives of more than 2,000 Southern Nevadans with intellectual and related disabilities. Last December, Grand Marshal Lance Burton attended to cheer on Santa-clad participants. For more information, visit www.LVSantaRun.com
