About Las Vegas Elite Runners

Our Mission

The Las Vegas Elite Runners are dedicated to offering an athletic pathway for youth seeking excellence in running, cross country, track and field, multi-events, academics, and holistic well-being. The organization aims to broaden access to educational scholarships and grants through these opportunities.

Las Vegas Elite Runners is a program designed to motivate youth and encourage their participation in athletics. Membership in the LVER team requires commitment and perseverance on physical, mental, and personal levels. Team members develop sportsmanship, learn to make informed decisions regarding healthy lifestyles, and maintain an active routine through participation in track and field or cross-country events.
