Great Santa Run returns to downtown Las Vegas to benefit Opportunity Village

“This truly could not have been done without the Southern Nevada community,” said Adam K. Joseph, President of Philanthropy at OV. “From our vendors to volunteers to long-time partners, we’re absolutely thrilled with the support and outcome.”

Sponsors for the event included FOX5, Caesars Entertainment, Fremont Street Experience, the Las Vegas Aces, Skye Canyon, UFC, Rock ‘n Roll Marathon and Pinkbox Doughnuts.

An earlier count conducted by OV estimated 6,500 runners participated in the Great Santa Run, though that number was likely to increase after an official count following the race.
