Talk Pirate to Me 5K/10K/Half - Las Vegas

Ahoy, mateys! Hoist the colors and join us for the Talk Pirate to Me 5K/10K/Half Marathon, a swashbuckling adventure on the run celebrating International Talk Like a Pirate Day all month long. Whether you're a seasoned captain or a landlubber just looking for some fun, gather your crew and set sail for a race filled with pirate spirit, treasure, and plenty of "Arrr's!"

Choose your quest—5K, 10K, or Half Marathon—and chart your course to the finish line. Every buccaneer who successfully walks the plank and crosses the finish line will earn a custom finisher medal worthy of any pirate's treasure chest.

We're headed to the Cornerstone Park in Henderson for an 8:00 am start, and hitting the trail to celebrate the pirate in you.  Come out dressed in your favorite pirate garb (and some running shoes), and we'll hit the trail instead of walking the plank.

Awards will be presented in all three distances to the top three male and female finishers in our traditional five-year age groups, giving pirates of all ages a chance to claim their share of the booty.

So dust off your eye patches, practice your pirate lingo, and come celebrate a month of high-seas fun. There be treasure waiting at the finish line!

Arrr you ready? Talk Pirate to Me!
