🎵 HIP-HOP 5K BENEFITING SONGWRITERS 🎵

Join us Sunday, June 21, 2026, for Las Vegas’ culture-driven wellness and community engagement experience — the Hip-Hop 5K benefiting songwriters.

Presented by Protect The Creatives, a Las Vegas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Hip-Hop 5K combines movement, music, wellness, and community impact into one unforgettable morning experience.
