Journal Jog 8K
The Journal Jog 8K takes place in Old Southwest Reno, Nevada, with the 55th running scheduled for 08/23/2026. The event began in 1969 and finishes on the track at Reno High School, which traces its origins to an 1869 one-room schoolhouse.
The main 8K course is described as flat and fast and winds through scenic, historic neighborhoods before entering the Reno High School track for the finish. The event location is listed as 395 Booth St, Reno, NV 89509.
The program includes separate divisions for people running with strollers and for general runners and walkers. The Stroller-Run division is for individuals running with a stroller that contains a child; the same person must push the stroller for the entire race and may compete for top-three places. The Run/Walk/Stroller-Walk division is open to runners, walkers, and those who walk with a stroller and child.
A Junior Jog is offered as a separate children’s race for ages 10 and under. That race is a short, safe run of about 0.25 miles centered around the finish area and takes place later in the morning. Registration details in the event listing specify opening and closing dates and entry fees for each division. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
