Race Overview:

🏃‍♂️ Virtual Las Vegas Half Marathon – Race for Children & Families
This Virtual Half Marathon runs alongside the Las Vegas Half Marathon and marks Race 1 of 50 in an ongoing national movement.

Over the next 50 months, we will complete 50 half marathons in all 50 states—one race per month—using running as a platform to build awareness and support for children and families impacted by abandonment, alienation, and neglect.

This is more than a race.
It’s a stand for children who deserve safety, stability, and meaningful access to both parents.

Participants in the virtual race can complete their 13.1 miles anywhere, at any time during the race window, while being part of a larger mission happening across the country. Whether you run, walk, or break the distance into multiple sessions, every mile contributes to the message that mothers and fathers truly matter.

Why This Race Matters
Millions of children are affected by:

Parental alienation
Emotional and physical abandonment
Chronic neglect
These issues often go unseen and unspoken. This race exists to change that.

By participating, you are helping to:

Raise awareness around the long-term impact of family separation and neglect
Support advocacy efforts focused on children’s well-being
Amplify a message that children thrive with love, presence, and accountability from both parents
Who Can Participate
Runners of all levels
Walkers and first-time half marathon participants
Supporters who want to be part of a cause bigger than themselves
You don’t need to be in Las Vegas to be part of this race—you just need the willingness to show up and move with purpose.

This is Race 1 of 50.
One state. One month. One mission.
Fifty times over.

Run where you are. Stand for what matters.
Together, let’s build a future where children are not forgotten.
