Labor Day Dash 5k

Reno, NV

Registration openAnnual since at least 2026

About the Labor Day Dash 5k

The course runs entirely on trail at Hidden Valley Regional Park, with mostly gentle terrain broken up by a few rolling hills. Views open up along the way, and the setting feels removed from the city even though the park is close in. The race is a sanctioned USATF event, which means timing and age-group awards are taken seriously.

Packet pickup is available the evening before the race at the trailhead near the water towers in the park, with a second window on race morning before the start. That same trailhead area serves as the start and finish, so parking and orientation are straightforward once you find the water towers.

Common Questions About the Labor Day Dash 5k

Will I finish last at the Labor Day Dash 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:24, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:47, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Labor Day Dash 5k a good first 5K?

It is a small race (75 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Labor Day Dash 5k?

The 5K winner ran 19:23 while the median finisher took 35:24. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
