In general, activities begin around 8 AM each day with Biplane and Formula One Class races, with the other racing events following later in the day. Unlimited Class races usually occur during the afternoon. The last event of the day usually ends around 4:30 PM.

Between races, there is always something in the air to enjoy, whether it be a military or civil aircraft flight demonstration, an aerobatic performance, or a fly-by. And you can catch a good view of the action from just about anywhere in the General Admission grandstands, the Reserved grandstands, the static display areas, and the pits. So we encourage you to explore everything that the Reno National Championship Air Races and Air Show has to offer.

Please note that schedules can change due to safety, weather, flight operations, or other conditions. Therefore, it is a good idea to avoid planning your visit to the Air Races too precisely around the scheduled time of any specific event.

2010 event schedule

A typical day during Race Week starts with Biplane and Formula One class racing. Opening ceremonies are held around mid-day, and most racing for larger aircraft and flight demonstrations by the headline air show act [this year, the Canadian Forces “Snowbirds” occur in the afternoon.
