The Biggest Little Ultra

Where:

Beautiful Sparks Marina located at 300 Howard Drive, Sparks, Nevada 89434. The marina is minutes from the Reno Tahoe Airport and is adjacent to several hotels and casinos. Once a quarry, Sparks Marina now is a popular spot for fishing, swimming, sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving. It has a large dog park, sandy beaches, volleyball courts, a fishing pier, veterans memorial, kids playground, coffee shop and, most importantly, a comfortable and scenic walking path around the marina. The marina is the centerpiece of the Biggest Little Ultra and provides a pleasant backdrop for your race.
