The Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series Las Vegas is ‘going all in’ on new race weekend experiences including moving the three-day Health & Fitness Expo to the Strip at Resorts World Las Vegas, which also signed on as the expo’s presenting sponsor.

“The Health & Fitness Expo’s high-energy and entertainment sets the tone as we welcome runners and walkers to Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas race weekend,” said Nicole Christenson, Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series Las Vegas Race Director.
“We wanted to bring that excitement to a new venue on the Strip. We seek out the best of the best experiences for our race, and the all-new Resorts World Las Vegas will bring something to our Health & Fitness Expo and race experience that participants have never seen before.”
