About the 2026 Reno's Wobble Before You Gobble 10K/ 5K/ 1 Mile Walk

The course starts at Wingfield Park and winds through downtown Reno and the surrounding parks before looping back. The route is mostly urban, so expect pavement and city scenery throughout. It runs on Thanksgiving morning, which gives the whole thing a holiday-morning feel, with people out in costumes and families gathered at the finish.

Packet pickup runs the two evenings before the race at a local running store on the south side of town. Race-morning pickup is not mentioned, so picking up early is the safer move. Pets are not allowed on the course, which is worth knowing if you were planning to bring a dog.
