RENO NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP AIR RACES

Flying The Fierce & Friendly Skies

The National Championship Air Races, also known
simply as the Reno Air Races, are an exhilarating
event beloved by pilots, adrenaline junkies, and
families looking to enjoy an exciting outdoor event.
Started in the 1960s by World War II veteran Bill
Stead, the Air Races are one of the longest running
events in Reno. The event is held every
September, and features several days of diverse
aviation programming. Aviation buffs will be
delighted to learn that the Air Races feature six
different classes of aircraft, for a full schedule of
racing that allows pilots to compete at high speeds.
In addition, you’ll also get to check out air shows
that feature world class pilots trained to capture a
crowd’s attention with exciting tricks and thrilling
turns in the air. You can also enjoy getting up close
and personal with some of the most commanding
military aircraft at the Air Races, which makes this
event a must-do outing for many Nevada military
families.

Like many of our outdoor events in Reno, the Air
Races offer an opportunity to gather with family and
friends and enjoy the beauty of our big little city as
a backdrop to some serious talent. The Air Races
offer a little something for everyone, from
galleries and displays to a wide range of vendors
and food and shopping offerings so you can leave
with your own souvenir to remember your day at
the races. The National Championship Air Races
are just one of many reasons that we love Reno! To
