RaceRove doesn't yet have a vetted directory of run clubs for Las Vegas, so consider this a starting point for your own research rather than an endorsed list. What follows are real, currently active running groups that show up consistently across local running-club directories and Las Vegas news coverage — worth checking out directly, and worth confirming current schedules with before you show up, since informal group runs change meeting times and locations more often than organized clubs do. None of the groups below are affiliated with RaceRove or with the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas race itself.

Group Runs in the Arts District

STRIDE Vegas has built a following around weekly group runs out of The Arts Factory in the Arts District, splitting participants into multiple pace groups — run, jog, and walk-focused options among them — so a first-timer and an experienced racer can show up to the same session and both leave having had a good morning. It's a model built explicitly around inclusivity rather than speed, with a social coffee stop as part of the routine afterward. Local coverage has repeatedly pointed to the group as one of the more welcoming entry points into the Las Vegas running scene, and it's one of the more consistently mentioned options across local club directories.

Running-Store and Brand-Led Groups

Red Rock Running Company, a local specialty running store, hosts regular group runs out of multiple locations around the Las Vegas Valley — a common model in cities with an established running-store scene, where the shop functions as both a gear source and an informal club hub. Store-led groups like this tend to be a reliable option if you want structure and consistency without the social branding of a standalone club, and they're generally a good source of local race and training advice beyond just the group run itself.

Identity and Interest-Based Clubs

A handful of more specific groups have carved out steady followings in the Las Vegas running scene. Vegas Girls Run Club organizes multiple women-only runs each week from rotating Valley parks. BLK Las Vegas Run Club meets weekend mornings at Sunset Park and Lone Mountain Park. Run Drink LV pairs a Tuesday-evening run in Downtown Summerlin with a post-run stop at a nearby bar. Las Vegas Runners hosts an early Saturday-morning run from Desert Bloom Park followed by coffee. Each has its own identity and its own crowd, and the right fit depends entirely on what kind of group run you're actually looking for — social versus training-focused, early morning versus evening, a specific community versus an open, all-comers group.

Training Partners vs. Social Runs

Not every group calling itself a 'run club' is built around the same goal, and it's worth knowing which kind you're walking into before you show up expecting one or the other. Some of the groups above — the running-store-led runs in particular — lean toward structured pace groups and training advice, useful if you're deep in a training block and want company at a specific effort. Others, like the Arts District and women's-only groups, are built primarily around community and consistency rather than performance, with pace groups that prioritize sticking together over hitting a number. Neither approach is better, but showing up to a social-first group expecting a structured tempo run, or the reverse, is a common way to have a mismatched first experience.

How to Find (and Vet) a Club Before You Show Up

Most Las Vegas run clubs live primarily on Instagram rather than a traditional website, so search there first, and check the post date on any schedule you find — meeting times and locations for informal groups shift more often than you'd expect, and a listing that's a year old is a reasonable thing to double-check rather than trust outright. If you're traveling in for the race and want a shakeout run or some local company beforehand, a quick message to a club's account before you arrive is usually enough to confirm the current schedule and get a straight answer about whether visitors are welcome — for almost every club listed here, they are.

As RaceRove builds out its own run club directory for Las Vegas, treat that page as the place to check back for a more complete, locally verified list. For now, the clubs above are a reasonable starting point for finding your people before or after race weekend.
