Course Map

This exciting course starts in the heart of downtown under the iconic Reno Arch. The course then finds its way to the Truckee River and follows various paths and city streets moving upriver into gorgeous west Reno. Enjoy the many beautiful parks and bridges/river crossings as you race to your turnaround point and return to a victorious finish under the Reno Arch.

5K runners turn around in Idlewild Park at the 1.55 mile mark, 10K runners turn around in Crissie Caughlin Park at the 3.1 mile mark, and Half Marathoners complete a loop around Mayberry Park before returning. The half marathon course sees some gradual elevation gain over its distance, but each course remains flat and fast; there are no major hills or climbs.

5K , +19ft/-19ft
