Leprechaun Race

Join the family-friendly Leprechaun Race, a 5K run and walk in Reno, Nevada through the Midtown and Wells Avenue districts. This is a great first 5K for new runners. Costumes are encouraged!

The course showcases two of Reno’s most vibrant neighborhoods: Midtown and Wells Avenue. The course should be fast, mostly flat with lots of long straightaways and no dramatic climbs. The course will use the following streets: Stewart, Wells, Pueblo, Holcomb and Center.

The start and finish are right outside of The Discovery which is located at 490 S. Center Street. The start is at the corner of Center and Stewart. The finish in on Center in front of the museum. There is an out and back section on Holcomb. The course will be closed to all vehicular traffic.

Yes, there still will be our speedy real life leprechaun to beat. If your time is faster than hers, then you will earn a special prize.

Don’t despair if the leprechaun’s time is faster than yours. For every runner and walker who the leprechaun beats, the leprechaun’s pot of gold will grow in size. Who will benefit from the increased pot of gold? The Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum (The Discovery), who is Race178’s non profit partner in the event.
