About the Race
This event is run entirely inside the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, set in the beautiful foothills of Coloma along the south fork of the American River. This is the site at which gold was discovered in 1848, igniting the gold rush and leading to California’s quick rise to statehood.All of the courses are a mix of very appealing single track dirt trails and a few paved areas. There are some moderately technical ascents and descents with a lot of switchbacks. There are also some sections of rolling hills and other places where the course is completely flat. With the addition of scenic views and a variety of wildlife, there is plenty to make this run very enjoyable and interesting.The race is held rain or shine. Be aware that it can be very cold in Coloma in the morning. No strollers are allowed in the race.The time limit for this event is 4.5 hours.

Join us for the 55th running of the Journal Jog 8K — "Reno’s Oldest Footrace". Since 1969, this iconic event has been a proud tradition of the Northern Nevada running community, bringing generations of runners together in the heart of Old Southwest Reno.
The flat, fast 8K course winds through scenic, historic neighborhoods before routing into and finishing directly on the Reno High School track — a rare and unforgettable experience you won’t find at any other race.
Families are part of the tradition! The Stroller-Run division gives parents the chance to truly race with their child and compete for a top-three finish, while all other stroller walkers will join the runners and walkers in the main Run/Walk/Stroller-Walk division.
Introducing children to the joy of running, the Junior Jog race will allow children to experience the thrill of participating in a large community race and finish on the track alongside the 8K field. This separate race will take place later in the morning, welcome kids ages 10 and under, and consist of a short, safe run centered around the finish area.
Start Times:
Stroller Run – 7:25 AM
Runners / Walkers / Stroller-Walk – 7:30 AM
Junior Jog - 9:00 AM
Be part of Reno running history. Carry the tradition forward. Experience the Journal Jog 8K!

At the top of each hour a new round will start. This will continue for 8 hours! Every other lap we will change the direction of the loop! If there is more than one person going into the final hour the run will become a foot race to the finish! If you complete all 8 loops, you will have run approximately 32 Miles! Do you have what it takes? Do one loop, 3 loops or all 8! It’s sure to be a good time for the runners and the spectators!

Green Gate Parking Lot – This location will serve at Aid Station one for the half marathoners and will also be a great spot to cheer on your runners as they will have just climbed the final hill of their run…. All downhill from here! Parking will be very limited. If you plan to cheer for your runners at this location, carpooling is highly recommended!
Bear Hole parking lot- This location is about one and a half miles past the Horseshoe Lake gate on Upper Park Rd.

The Parking lot serves as aid station 3 for the half marathon as well as aid station 1 for the 4-mile runners.

Why:
The Biggest Little Ultra is your chance to set a P.R. at your chosen distance. It is paved and lighted so the course loop is safe and visible. Tired of stressing about aid station cutoffs? This race is the solution. Maybe you just want to cruise with friends and enjoy a glorious venue. Or, let's find out how far you can go in 3, 6, 12, 24 or 48 hours. In addition, we provide great swag and we will make a contribution to a very worthy cause (Liberty Dogs).
Course:
The race course is just under a 2 mile loop around beautiful Sparks Marina. Total elevation gain is 29 feet. The course is paved and lighted so no gators or headlamps are required. Two real restrooms are along the course and porta potties will be near the start line. We will not count partial laps. So, know your split time toward the end of your race and do not go out if you see you cannot finish the lap before your race ends. 50 mile runners will run 26 loops and the 100 mile runners will do 52 loops.
Aid Stations
We will have a fully stocked aid station at the start/finish line providing the usual aid station fare (including Hammer Products) 24 hours per day and real meals, (Including Vegan Options) during normal breakfast, lunch and dinner hours. We are cupless so bring a cup for your cold drinks with your name or initials on it and leave it at a table at the aid station. We will provide hot cups for soup and hot drinks at night.
Pacers and Timing
One pacer at a time is allowed during the entire event. No bikes, please.Your time and distance for each completed lap will be recorded automatically using an electronic chip based timing system. You will be issued a timing transponder/chip. It is the runner's responsibility to have the chip on their person at all times! Laps done without a chip are not counted by the timing system. There are no exceptions! A secondary timing system will be placed halfway around the track to verify laps completed. Up-to-date lap totals will be displayed instantaneously when runners cross the start line. Results will be live updated on https://live.aravaiparunning.com

THIS IS NOT A TRAIL RUN!
In the event that you stumbled on this page looking for a really hard fat-ass style trail running event in a beautiful place, this is NOT that kind of event. Is it hard? Yes. The fun run typically takes 11-20 hrs to complete, the other disciplines go up from there. Only one person has finished 21 Peaks ever. Is it fat-ass style? Yes - it's free and marginally supported (drop bag). Is it held in a beautiful place? Yes - it takes place in Desolation Wilderness. What gives? It is all those things, but it is NOT a TRAIL run. Why? First, you will encounter trail bits here and there, but the vast majority of the routes are OFF TRAIL, which, in this area means endless talus fields of broken rock, granite ledges, hands and feet scrambling and swift water creek crossings. Second, the route is NOT MARKED. Participants navigate from peak to peak according to their own route planning and route finding. If you don't have years of experience trekking and running in the mountains, navigating off trail, or have elite level physical capability, this is not the event for you. This is NOT the event where you go to get that experience, or learn what's required. With that out of the way, let's talk about what Desolate Peaks actually is.
Overview
Desolate Peaks is nothing more than a time and place where a couple of dozen mountain runners get together to challenge themselves by doing a peak bagging circuit in the Desolation Wilderness. Leaving together at 6 AM from Twin Lakes trailhead, they navigate from peak to peak until they either complete the circuit within the 30 hour time limit, or they give in to the realization that they didn't quite have what it took...this year. There are three levels of "fun" on offer:21 Peaks - the original 17 peak beast plus 4 additional peaks (Lucifer’s Frolic)17 Peaks - the original beast!11 Peak “Fun Run” - Shuttle back from Fallen Leaf (Skip 12-17)
