2026 Leprechaun Race 5K Run/Walk

The Leprechaun Race is a festive running and walking event held in Reno, Nevada. The course takes participants through the downtown and midtown districts of the city. The event is designed for a variety of participants, including first-time 5K entrants and experienced runners, with no specific qualification requirements mentioned.

The event features two distinct distances:

  • 5K run or walk for participants of all ages.
  • 0.4 mile out-and-back dash for children aged 10 and under.

The race starts and finishes at City Plaza. The 5K route allows for both running and walking, while the Kid’s Leprechaun Dash provides an out-and-back course specifically for younger runners. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes, specifically green leprechaun-themed gear.

Following the completion of the races, an awards ceremony and a finish line festival take place. Participants also receive admission to The Discovery, a science center in Reno featuring interactive exhibits. The event occurs in March and emphasizes community participation and fitness within a festive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
