Hidden Valley Hammer

Hidden Valley Hammer is a trail running event in Reno, NV on November 7, 2026, at 4740 Parkway Drive. The event includes two distances and takes place on technical park trails.

The main race is a 10K that climbs roughly 1700 ft in the first 4.5 miles. The route is steep, slippery, rocky, and exposed in places. There are sections where participants will be hiking rather than running. Trekking poles are not discouraged, especially for less experienced trail runners. Carrying drinking water is recommended. There is one aid station near the top that provides water and encouragement only.

A second option is a 5K that follows a less technical loop around the park and includes single-track trail.

Proceeds from the event go to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. After the run there is an after-party at The 395 Craft Beer and Spirits with food, drinks, and live music. Registration for the event closed on November 1, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
