A HUGE thank you to our friends at Reno Running Company for another successful Leprechaun Race. A record-setting number of runners signed up to chase the leprechaun through the streets of Midtown Reno, starting and finishing here at The Discovery! We value our partnership immensely, and can't wait for the 13th annual event in 2025!
