Hidden Valley Hammer

Reno, United States • 8 Nov 2025

Event overview

The Hidden Valley Hammer is a trail running event in Reno, NV on November 8, 2025. The event offers two distances:

  • 10K
  • 5K

Registration closes on November 2, 2025. The event start and finish are at 4740 Parkway Drive in Reno.

Course and logistics

The 10K course is described as steep, slippery, rocky, and exposed. It climbs roughly 1,700 ft in the first 4.5 miles, reaches a view at the top, then descends back to the start. There are sections where participants will be hiking rather than running. Trekking poles are not discouraged. Carrying drinking water is recommended. One aid station is located near the top; only water and encouragement will be provided.

The 5K follows a much less technical loop around the park and uses single-track trails. Proceeds from the event go 100% to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. An after-party with food, drinks, and live music is planned at The 395 Craft Beer and Spirits. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
