Carson Valley Trails Run the Valley 5k, 10k and Family 2k

The Carson Valley Trails Run the Valley 5k, 10k and Family 2k begins at James Lee Park in Carson City, Nevada. All three distances utilize dirt or trail surfaces within the Carson Valley Trails Association network. This October event in Northern Nevada offers a 10k run/walk, a 5k-ish run/walk, and a free Family 2k designed for children, families, walkers, and those seeking a shorter trail experience. The 10k covers a six-mile loop starting with a quarter-mile single-track climb, then proceeding on trails from the Jacks Valley and James Lee Loops. The 5k-ish route measures 3.55 miles and begins with the same brief single-track climb before continuing on the James Lee Loops. The Family 2k follows the crushed-granite Indian Hills fitness-course path, then returns via single track. Off-road strollers and leashed dogs are permitted. Children under 12 receive a finisher medal. The event benefits local trails. Registration for the 5k includes a one-year Individual Membership to the Carson Valley Trails Association for non-members.
