The race featured three distances, a marathon (26.2 miles), a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 7.02-mile race spotlighting the local 702 Las Vegas area code. Participants and spectators had the unique opportunity to wrap up their race day with the Official Post-Race Party presented by Meow Wolf Omega Mart. Full race results are now available online here.

“We were thrilled to welcome runners back for another incredible race weekend. Although we had to make adaptations to this year’s event, we are grateful to all the runners and community members who navigated these changes with us and contributed to another memorable year of racing,” said Phil Dumontet, CEO of Brooksee, producer of the Las Vegas Marathon. “We look forward to continuing to work towards bringing back a race course that showcases even more of the incredible City of Las Vegas!”
Following a year of conversations with the City of Las Vegas, Clark County and local stakeholders, organizers adapted the race course exclusively for 2025 to provide a safe race experience that limited road impacts. The one-time adaptation featured a fast, downhill course that began near the original Mt. Charleston Lodge, taking runners through the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest with panoramic views of the surrounding desert and mountains before descending toward Las Vegas. The half marathon started midway down Kyle Canyon Road, offering equally scenic views, while the 7.02-mile course provided a shorter tour through the palm-lined streets of Centennial Hills. All races finished at Arbor View High School, where participants and spectators enjoyed a lively Finish Festival featuring live entertainment, food and beverages, recovery stations and local vendors.
Runners had the opportunity to celebrate post-race with entertainment and festivities presented by Meow Wolf Omega Mart. Each participant also received a high-quality, race-specific medal and shirt, with opportunities to upgrade and collect additional swag from local and national vendors at the pre-race Expo. The Las Vegas Marathon event was proudly supported by sponsors including Meow Wolf Omega Mart, Superpower and Southern Nevada Toyota Dealers.
