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!
