Reno's $5 Million Indoor Track Facility: A Game-Changer for Sports and Community Growth

Reno, Nevada, already celebrated as The Biggest Little City in the World, is adding another accolade to its name with the opening of a $5 million state-of-the-art indoor track facility. Located within the Reno-Sparks Convention Center complex, this impressive addition is set to redefine Reno’s status as a hub for sports tourism and economic growth.

A Vision of Growth and Community

The creation of this world-class indoor track has been a labor of love, taking over two and a half years from concept to completion. The custom-designed, portable track was manufactured in Italy and underwent an impressive journey through the Panama Canal and California before reaching Reno. Funded by the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority (RSCVA), this facility is part of a broader strategy to establish Reno as a premier destination for sports in the Western United States.

Mike Larragueta, president and CEO of the RSCVA, shared the facility’s ambitious goals:

“We will use our track to really drive competition, teams, tourism, and rooms, while adding economic development to the area.”

This facility is expected to create between 15,000 and 20,000 room nights in its first year and soar to 50,000 by its fifth year. Beyond the numbers, it signifies Reno's commitment to investing in its community, showcasing its adaptability and drive to remain competitive in today’s evolving landscape.

What This Means for Reno

The new indoor track will not only cater to high school, AAU, and collegiate athletes but also set the stage for NCAA conference meets and potentially NCAA Championships in the future. Its flexible capacity of 1,200–1,500 attendees offers a versatile space for events of various sizes.

This development also aligns perfectly with Reno’s growing appeal as a lifestyle destination. For prospective homeowners, the facility is an exciting addition to the city’s offerings. It reinforces the city’s reputation as a vibrant, thriving community with plenty to offer families, professionals, and sports enthusiasts alike.
