Recurring 10K races near Carson City

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Polio Purple Pinkie Trail Run

The 17th annual Polio Purple Pinkie Trail Run at Washoe County's Rancho San Rafael Park. The Rotary Club of Reno Midtown hosts this run/walk to support a good cause and enjoy the trails.

The Lions Run is a race fundraiser held at Empire Ranch Golf Course in Carson City, Nevada. It features a half marathon, 10K, 5K, Family Fun Run, and a unique 0.0 None Run. For the None Run, participants need only a lawn chair; the objective is relaxation, not exertion. The running routes are situated on and near the golf course grounds. Aid stations are available along the courses, and registered runners receive precision timing. This is a new event designed to foster a community atmosphere. Participants receive a swag bag, a race shirt, finish-line photos, and access to a festival following the races.

Lake Tahoe Marathon Events

The Lake Tahoe Marathon Events span three days around Lake Tahoe, typically in October. The weekend accommodates various participants: runners can race, jog, or walk, drawing thousands of athletes and visitors to the lake annually. Races utilize locations around the lake, such as Homewood on the California side. The events range from the kids' Pumpkin Run to the 72-mile Midnight Express, covering family activities, standard road races, and an extended overnight challenge.

Reno's Wobble Before You Gobble 10K / 5K

Reno's Wobble Before You Gobble 10K / 5K is a Thanksgiving Day run in Reno, Nevada, offering 10K and 5K distances. It is scheduled for November, providing a holiday-morning option before the meal suggested by its name. The listing provides basic details: the event is part of a race series, hosted in Reno, and includes separate 10K and 5K categories. The title itself is the main tradition, linking the run directly to Thanksgiving rather than a specific course feature or extensive history.

The Great Ski Race 2027

The Great Ski Race is a nordic ski event in North Lake Tahoe, held at Tahoe Cross Country Center in Tahoe City, California. It takes place during the winter and serves as the primary fundraiser for Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue, an all-volunteer group that aids in rescues within the Sierra backcountry. Participants can compete seriously or enjoy the day as a long tour, choosing between a 26 km main course and a 10 km option, both starting and ending at Tahoe XC. The 26 km course ascends from the Tahoe Basin, crosses Starratt Pass, and follows the 74 road, known as the Fiberboard Freeway. It circles through 4 Corners before heading back toward Carnelian Bay and the Blue Trail at Tahoe XC. This route includes 1,636 feet of elevation gain, presenting a significant climbing challenge, though the event maintains a festive atmosphere with a soup station offering complimentary snacks and beverages. The 10 km route remains at a lower elevation on the rolling trails of the nordic center. An untimed Tour Wave is available for those wishing to ski the full 26 km distance without official results. Both distances conclude with food and live music at the finish line.

About 10K races in Carson City

Carson City Base Miles

Carson City hosts 6 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Carson City from the front door when the day allows. The city gives runners almost 30 miles of paved trails, and many consider the trail heads to be right out their front door. Run With Us keeps the week honest with Speedy Tuesdays or Hilly Tuesdays from 6:00am to 7:30am every Tuesday. Carson Riverview Park is the spot for speed work. Ash Canyon is where locals go for hills. Prison Hill brings the dirt, and the Nevada Day Classic, Escape from Prison Hill, Pi Day Fun Run, and Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance Runs give the calendar real anchor events.

Carson City rides like a capital with a dirt habit. The League of American Cyclist certified the city as a bronze Bike-Friendly Community, and the bicycle network covers 15 miles. The Kit Carson Trail, V&T Trail, Linear Park Trail, Mexican Ditch Trail, and Prison Hill & Silver Saddle Ranch Trail System keep short spins simple. The trails include 2 km of unpaved surface. The Carson Range holds the west-side climbing, while the Virginia Range, Pine Nut Mountains, and Prison Hill keep gravel, singletrack, and cyclocross legs busy.

Spring and fall are the money months for base miles, intervals, and long Z2 days. Summer brings hot afternoons, and July highs average around 32°C, so locals ride early and keep harder run work tight. Carson City sits around 1,400 meters above sea level, and that little bit of altitude shows up when the pace gets spicy. Winter brings cold mornings and about 19 inches of snowfall, so runners use paved trails when they are clear, riders pick windows, and Fresh Tracks 5K Snowshoe race starts looking useful.
