LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft announced the completion of a 3.1-mile multi-use trail loop at James Regional Sports Park Wednesday morning.
The trail spans the perimeter of the 107-acre sports facility at 8400 W. Robindale Road in the southwest valley.

The project features a dual-surface design to accommodate a variety of users simultaneously. The trail is divided into two distinct parallel paths: a 10-foot-wide paved asphalt side for cyclists, parents pushing strollers, rollerbladers and walkers, and a 5-foot-wide compacted decomposed granite side for runners and joggers seeking a softer, low-impact surface.
“Clark County is committed to making our transportation network safer and more accessible for every road user — whether you’re walking, running, biking, pushing a stroller, or simply enjoying the outdoors,” said Naft, chair of the Clark County Commission. “This new 5K loop at James Regional Sports Park gives residents a dedicated space to exercise and stay active without having to cross major roadways, creating a safer and more comfortable experience for everyone using the trail.”
The trail project was coordinated with Clark County Public Works’ infrastructure upgrades along Robindale Road to include two tunnels under Robindale Road between Durango Drive and Buffalo Drive.
The undercrossings at the eastern and western ends of the trail loop connect nearby residential developments directly to the park’s existing amenities, including tournament soccer fields, splash pad and inclusive playground.
“It is fantastic that James Regional Sports Park has tunnels now to allow 5K races to be a single loop that’s easy to follow,” said Kate McLaughlin, executive director of Girls on the Run Las Vegas. “As a runner, I have run convoluted courses that cross streets and it is such a distraction from the fun of the race. A clean, safe course is such a gift. Girls on the Run Las Vegas is thrilled to be hosting our first annual Girl Power 5K/10K here on October 3, 2026.”
The 3.1-mile distance mirrors a traditional 5K run, making it a loop for local fitness enthusiasts to track their training progress.
The multi-use trail is open to the public during normal park hours, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
James Regional Sports Park is a 107-acre recreational facility featuring 16 tournament-quality soccer fields, a universally accessible all-inclusive playground, a splash pad, walking paths and expansive green spaces.
