National championship air races and air show

Witness the thrill and excitement of the world's fastest motorsport with spectacular races, awe-inspiring performances, iconic aircraft, and aviation history on display.

The Reno National Championship Air Races is the only closed-course pylon racing event in the world and the longest-running air race. Six different race plane classes battle just 60 feet from the ground, with the Unlimited and Jet classes reaching speeds over 500 mph! Besides the on-your-feet action of the races, spectators have close-up access to racing aircraft, pilots, and crews in the “pits.” There’s a world-class air show, military display and demonstrations, aircraft display, and great concessions.

Get ready for the high-flying action as one of America's premier air race events soars into Reno from September 11 to 15, 2019.
