Silver State

Silver State takes place on July 25, 2027, in Reno, Nevada. Three formats are offered: the half marathon (13.1 mi), a 50 km (31.1 mi) and an ultra of 80.5 km (50 mi). Start times and elevation gain are not listed in our records.

The mountains above Reno rise quickly from a city that already sits at 4,500 feet, so every one of these distances is run at altitude and in very dry air — the combination that dehydrates runners fastest. Drink to a schedule from the first hour, take salt with it, and treat the half marathon as a serious undertaking rather than the easy option on the program.
