About the Event

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 join the main Run/Walk/Stroller-Walk division.

The Junior Jog event welcomes runners 10 and under, giving young athletes the thrill of participating in a large community race and finishing on the track just like the 8K field.

Start Times:
• Stroller Run – 7:25 AM
• Runners / Walkers / Walking Strollers – 7:30 AM

Be part of Reno running history. Carry the tradition forward. Experience the Journal Jog 8K!
