Dirty Wookie 10K & 5K

Grab your costume and join us for Reno's most spirited Halloween running event! Whether you're chasing a PR dressed as your favorite superhero, villain, princess, dinosaur, or just showing off your best Halloween costume, the Dirty Wookie is all about fun, community, and embracing the Halloween spirit. Costumes are highly encouraged, and you'll be surrounded by hundreds of runners doing the same! 

The 10K is Reno's only point-to-point 10K, starting at Reno Running Company – LAKESIDE before winding through Virginia Lake, beautiful West Reno neighborhoods, and the spectacular fall colors of Idlewild Park, finishing at J Resort’s Festival Grounds in downtown Reno. This is a BRAND NEW course for 2026! A shuttle from the finish to the start is available for purchase. Please note that no shuttle service is provided back to the 10K start line after the race, so if you choose to drive yourself, please plan accordingly. 

The 5K starts and finishes at J Resort’s Festival Grounds and features a scenic out-and-back route through the colorful paths of Idlewild Park. Both courses are professionally marked and supported to provide the world-class race experience Reno Running Company is known for.

Stick around after you finish to enjoy the festive finish line atmosphere at the J Resort Festival Grounds, celebrate your run, admire costumes, and kick off Halloween week in style. Whether you're racing, walking, or just out to have fun, the Dirty Wookie is a Halloween tradition you won't want to miss!
