About the Biggest Little Half Marathon, 10K & 5K
The course runs through downtown Reno, follows the Truckee River for a stretch, then pushes out into the neighborhoods and parks on the west side of the city before looping back toward the center. It covers real urban ground, so expect pavement, bridges, and a genuine city skyline as your backdrop rather than a park loop.
Several distance options share the same start area, so the morning has a rolling feel as waves head out at different times. Parking details and course maps are posted on the race's event website, and it is worth a look before you go.

The Biggest Little Half Marathon, 10K & 5K has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Sep 26, 2026.
