Join Kaia girls in running the McCarran Boulevard loop (about 23.5 miles), starting at 5 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 9. All women are welcome, and this event is free! But please sign up through the Tickets link on this page.
If you're participating, we'd love to see you in your favorite tutu! ;)

You also can RSVP officially by navigating to the Midtown studio in our Kaia FIT app and booking any leg that you want to run in or support!
All other Kaia FIT Sierra classes on Saturday, Nov. 9, are canceled.
In a nutshell, here's how it will work:
The group will start at the intersection of North McCarran Boulevard and North Virginia Street in north Reno at 5 a.m. There will be three rest/check-in points about every 6 miles along the loop in which the group gets back together and Kaia girls can jump in and run however many miles they want. (But don't worry, you can jump in wherever you like along McCarran--we post updates of where we're at on this event page.)
Want to try for 6 miles? Jump in at one of the stops and run to the next stop. A support car can drive you back to where you started. Want to try for 12? Keep going til you hit a second checkpoint. If you want to run less than 6 miles (how about just 1 mile with some amazing people?), let a support car know when you start so that they can find you and pick you up when you're done. Then, YOU can be a support car if you like! :)
Here’s a breakdown based on past pace estimations that can vary depending on traffic signals and the pace of the group as a whole:
* 5 a.m. start time at McCarran and North Virginia in north Reno (park in the parking lot on the northwest corner where the Basque Monument park is)
* First rest/check-in point: McCarran and Plumb Lane in southwest Reno (about 5.5 miles from the start, possibly 6 or 6:30 a.m.; park in the southeast corner in the Bank of America parking lot). We also take a break at the top of the Caughlin Ranch hill at the Starbucks! :)
* Second rest/check-in point: McCarran and Longley in southeast Reno (about 12 miles from the start, possibly 8 a.m.; park in the southeast corner lot near Spicy Pickle)
* Third rest/check-in point: McCarran and Baring Boulevard in Sparks (about 18 miles from the start, possibly 9 or 9:30 a.m.; park at Shelly Park on the southeast corner)
* Finish at the starting point. BOOM. Done. ;)
Remember, this is not a race running at race pace. This is a group run that accommodates whatever pace works for everyone overall. Our checkpoints are intended to be a spot where faster runners rest and wait for others to catch up before moving forward so that our group can stay as close together as possible.
Worried you might miss the group? Don't worry! There will be updates as to where they are along McCarran on this event page whenever they hit a significant crossroad or landmark. Consider this somewhat of a "Where's Waldo?" game. ;)
Not in the mood to run? You can be a support car! You can even ride your bike (slowly) along with the group!
Every year has been such a blast that we can't wait to take on the loop again, Kaia style! :)
