About the Rock Reno Half Marathon, Relay & 5K
The course runs point-to-point from south Reno to downtown, covering streets, bike paths, and stretches along the Truckee River before finishing outside a minor league baseball stadium. The ballpark setting gives the finish a different feel from a typical road race, with the downtown skyline close by rather than a parking lot or park.
A shuttle runs from the finish area to the start for half marathon runners, which takes the logistics headache out of a point-to-point course. The midpoint of the route doubles as the relay exchange, and there is aid with water and electrolytes at several spots along the way, plus nutrition at the halfway mark.

The Rock Reno Half Marathon, Relay & 5K has been held every year since at least 2024. 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 Jul 27, 2026.
