Rock Reno Half Marathon, Relay & 5K
About this race
Rock Reno Half Marathon & 5K is Reno’s most unique running experience — and the city’s only point-to-point half marathon. Start in South Reno at the Swift Sportsdome and run your way through east Reno streets, bike paths, and parks while you follow the Truckee River - finishing in style at Greater Nevada Field, home of the Reno Aces! There’s nothing like crossing the finish line outside the ballpark with the energy of downtown Reno around you.
Not quite ready for the half marathon? Grab a teammate and take on the 2-person relay, or join us for the 5K run/walk, which starts and finishes at Greater Nevada Field — perfect for runners and walkers of all levels who want to be part of race day excitement.
The course features 6 aid stations, all complete with water and electrolytes. We'll provide some nutrition at the midpoint at well! The midpoint doubles as the exchange point for Relay Runners, where you can park and meet your teammate.
To make race morning smooth, we provide a runner shuttle from the finish to the start for half marathon participants. (Please note: there is no return shuttle if you choose to drive yourself to the start.) The half marathon and relay begin at 8:00 AM with a 3 hour 30 minute course cutoff (11:30 AM/16:02 per mile pace). The 5K kicks off at 8:15 AM.
From the unique point-to-point course to the unforgettable ballpark finish, Rock Reno Half Marathon & 5K delivers a race experience you won’t find anywhere else in the region.
