The LVTC Has Received a $2,500 Nike
"Back Your Block" Grant!

Getting our name out there!


Thanks to our amazing supporters who took time to vote for the Las Vegas Track Club in the Nike “Back Your Block” grant competition, our club has received a $2,500 grant to put towards this year’s scholarships! We would like to give a special thanks to LVTC member Teri Radke for taking the time to apply for this grant and for spending a tremendous amount of time each day voting on the Nike website to ensure that we would stay in the running. At one point, we were fourth in the nation out of over two hundred organizations! We would also like to thank our fans on Facebook (both members and non-members) who took the time to vote regularly, as well as everyone else who cast a vote (or two, or three, or three hundred!). Finally, we would like to thank the Nike Factory Store at 905 S. Grand Central Parkway (in the Premium Outlet Mall across from the Clark County Government Center) for their support. The LVTC will earn $5 for each Nike gift card purchased at this store through the holidays. Stop by and check out our nice display rack in person, and buy some gift cards to help out the LVTC even more! Also, keep your eyes open for more grant opportunities for our club, and help us continue the tradition of giving out thousands of dollars in scholarships every year!

About Our Running Club PDF Print E-mail

The Las Vegas Track Club is an all-volunteer, non-profit running organization that was incorporated in the state of Nevada in April, 1969. We are walkers, joggers and runners who have embraced walking, jogging and running as a lifetime fitness activity. Our mission is to support youth running in southern Nevada, and we do that by making very generous donations to youth running teams, high school cross country and track teams, and by giving scholarships to worthy graduating high school seniors.

We work very closely with all of the local charities who stage walking, jogging and running events, and we put on our own running events when there is nothing else on the weekend calendar.  We have nearly 1,000 members from 23 states, and we are always delighted to have new friends to walk, jog and run with.

Our website has an extensive race calendar which features all local races and running events. If you want to race a 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, ultra distance or track event it will be listed on the LVTC race schedule.  The calendar also has a large list of local training runs.  The local running links page has a links to local running clubs, bike and triathlon clubs, places to run, local government recreation, speciality running stores, race timing, and running companies.  If you are interested in running a  5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, ultra distance, track event or training run please check out running calendar.

LVTC events are open to all runners; sign up starts about a half hour before the race.  The race fee is $3 for members, $5 for non-members.  Students 19 and under receive a $1 discount.   Almost all races are separated into sex and age categories, with ribbons awarded to the top five finishers in each division.  In an effort to encourage young runners to join us, the LVTC does not charge for runners 10 years of age or younger.
