Event summary
Join us for the exhilarating Carson Valley Trails Run the Valley on Saturday, October 4th, 2025, in the picturesque setting of Carson City, Douglas. This annual event celebrates the beauty of the trails while promoting community spirit and supporting local initiatives. Participants can choose from three exciting race distances: the 10k run/walk that kicks off at 8:00 AM, the 5k run/walk at 8:30 AM, and a fun-filled Family 2k starting at 9:30 AM.
The 10k route features a scenic 6-mile loop beginning at James Lee Park, where runners will tackle a thrilling .25-mile single track climb before exploring the stunning Jacks Valley and James Lee Loops. The 5k route offers a slightly shorter adventure, extending approximately 3.55 miles through the same beautiful trails. For families, the 2k is a delightful option that takes place on a crushed granite path, welcoming off-road strollers and friendly, leashed dogs. Plus, all children under 12 will receive a kid's finisher medal!
