Reno Tahoe Indoor Track Makes Big Impact in Opening Year

The Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority has released the numbers from its inaugural indoor track season at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, hosting eight meets from the collegiate level to youth and masters.

The Reno Tahoe Indoor Track welcomed over 5,000 registered athletes, securing over 12,000 room nights, $133,000 in total revenue and over $6 million in economic impact. Nevada’s only indoor track is scheduled to host 12 meets in 2026, including the Mountain West Conference Championships.

“The success of Reno Tahoe’s inaugural indoor track season exceeded all our expectations and we look forward to building on the momentum we’ve created in the upcoming seasons,” said Mike Larragueta, Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority president and chief executive officer. “As we continue to establish the destination as a leader in sports tourism, we welcome more opportunities to expand the world of indoor track and continue to bring world-class competition to Reno Tahoe.”

Starting December 4, Reno Tahoe’s second indoor track season will feature six meets in partnership with the University of Nevada and four meets with the USATF Pacific Association. The season will culminate with the Mountain West Conference Championships from February 26–28, 2026; followed by the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships from February 28 through March 2, 2026.

“The Reno Tahoe Indoor Track has placed collegiate track & field on the map,” said Shantel Twiggs, University of Nevada women’s track & field head coach. “Everyone is talking about how fast it is, especially the warmup area, which is the biggest draw. Between the track, warmup sprint lanes, field events and of course, the venue itself, this indoor track is the perfect setting for national and world-leading marks.”
