R5k Run/Walk and Recovery Celebration
Nevada’s Recovery and Prevention (NRAP) presents the 2026 R5k Run/Walk and Recovery Celebration on Saturday, September 26, 2026 at the Snowflake Pavilion in Idlewild Park, 1450 Idlewild Dr, Reno, NV. The event is held to promote community health and wellness, celebrate individuals in recovery, and reduce stigma associated with substance use and behavioral addictions.
Distances
- 5K Run/Walk
- Kids Fun Run (under 6 years)
The 5K course starts and finishes near the Snowflake Pavilion, follows the Crooked Mile path west along the north side of the Truckee River to Ivan Sack Park, then returns along the same route. A water station is located at the turnaround in Ivan Sack Park and is sponsored by Reno Running Company.
The post-race recovery celebration is free and open to the public regardless of 5K participation. The celebration features food, family activities, live music, guest speakers and advocates in recovery, vendors, informational booths from community organizations, and a raffle. Registered participants receive a racing bib with timing, an official race t-shirt, a medal, and breakfast. Registration tiers list different fees for adults and youth, and children under six may participate in the Kids Fun Run without race timing or an official t-shirt.
NRAP’s mission is to provide nurturing support and peer connections for students recovering from substance and behavioral addictions and for students choosing a substance-free lifestyle. Proceeds and sponsorships support NRAP programs and student recovery services. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
