Carson City, NV

Carson City sits at 1,524 metres in the high desert east of Lake Tahoe, making it the staging point for some of the West's hardest cycling events—the Tour of the California Alps Death Ride (165.8km with 5,000+ metres of climbing) departs from nearby, and the Carson Valley Trails Association Spoker Ride offers more accessible alpine loops. Runners gravitate to the Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance Runs (100km) in the mountains just west, or stick to flatter town parkruns and local 5K races like A Walk/Run to Remember, though the high elevation demands acclimatisation.
