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.
