Name: Run the Valley 5k & 2k
Start: 2024-10-19T08:30:00-07:00
Location: James Lee Park

We are excited to announce the only organized trail run in Carson Valley. Our Run the Valley 5k is an especially great choice for beginners who want to experience a trail run/race in a friendly, supportive and non-competitive environment. Racers will be hand-timed (no chips) and we will not be giving out any prizes for winning. This is all about challenging yourself, having fun and experiencing a CVTA trail in a new way.
Enjoy a 5k'ish (3.55 miles) trail run or a free 2k fun run on two unique courses.
The event takes place at the family-friendly James Lee Memorial Park in Indian Hills.
The 5K course will start and end at our James Lee Park trailhead and travel a designated path through the James Lee Loops trails. This is primarily single track through the rolling hills of our high desert ecosystem with views of the Sierras and the Carson Valley along the way!
The free 2K Fun Run is open to families, including friendly dogs on leash. The course follows the Indian Hills exercise equipment course and then travels along the base of the Jacks Valley loop, primarily flat double track. Best of all, kids under age 12 run can run either race for free and receive a finisher medals!
Please note that our 5k/2k distances are approximate due to the off-road nature of course. That's another reason why this is not a sanctioned/competitive 5k.
Adults and children over 12 who register for the 5K before Sept 19th will receive a race logo tech t-shirt at the event.
