LAS VEGAS (Feb. 5, 2020) – Prepare for the ultimate day of fitness and fun with the return of Skye Canyon’s Fit Fest on Saturday, March 7, 2020. Beginning at 7:00 a.m. with all race check-in’s at the Skye Canyon Park (10111 W. Skye Canyon Park Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89166), runners ranging from novices to trailblazers to those seeking a stroll with friends will find the road race that is perfect for their stride.

The day kicks off at 8 a.m. with Carnell “Golden Pipes” Johnson singing the national anthem marking the start of the 5k/8k Road Race and the new 1-Mile Fun Run. The wellness celebration continues with Silent Savasana Yoga, a Lifestyle Expo, Kids Fun Zone and a special edition of the Skye Canyon Farmers Market. Fit Fest 2020 is open to all and will have special offers for Skye Canyon residents and active and retired military. Early registration is now open and if signed up before February 22, 2020, participants will receive a custom designed Fit Fest race shirt.  All proceeds from the three races will benefit the Kline Veterans Fund.

Registration for all races is now open at www.skyecanyon.com/fit-fest. Each race participant will receive a Race Bag that includes t-shirt, medal and goody bag (if registering after Feb. 22, race shirts are provided on a first-come, first-served basis).  In addition to the more challenging 5k/8k Road Races, Fit Fest will include a new 1-Mile Fun Run perfect for racers of all levels and ages to enjoy the great outdoors. Skye Canyon Park will be the host for Silent Savasana Yoga where participants can unroll their mat, put on supplied headphones and find their center with the guidance of renowned yoga instructor Dray Gardner. There will be two 30-minute sessions: Yin that includes basic stretches at 10:30 a.m. and Guided Meditation at 11:30 a.m. (space is limited). 

It’s hard to be fit without the right foods, so the Skye Canyon Farmers Market will be open during Fit Fest for all to enjoy.
