Course Description
Mostly single track with some sections of fire road in Ash Canyon. Gradual ascents and descents. Snow and/or ice is always possible on this route during the winter.
Series Information
This is the 2nd of 3 trail runs in the annual Be Bold, Run in the Cold – Winter Trail Series presented by Ascent Runs. Every run in the series will have two distances to choose from, a 5Kish and a 10K+. The 5Kish will usually be between 3-4 miles. The 10K+ will be anywhere between 6-9 miles depending on conditions. If it’s nice we make it 7-9 miles. If it’s not so nice we keep it close to 6 miles. These casual runs were created to keep runners and walkers motivated through the winter months and also as a way to supplement your winter training. This series highlights the extensive trail networks surrounding Carson City, NV. Walkers are welcome to any of these events. There are no aid stations out on the courses so be prepared to carry your own water or sports drink. For the safety of all runners and to keep you guessing, event organizers reserve the right to change course routes and distances based on weather conditions or just for the heck of it. This series is a great trainer for the Triple Trail Challenge. The Triple Trail Challenge includes Carson Canyons Half Marathon, Escape From Prison Hill(EFPH) Half Marathon, and the Silver State Half Marathon.
Awards
No awards. Just the sweet satisfaction that you overcame the urge to sleep in on a cold winter morning and to go out and burn off some calories left over from too much turkey and gravy at Thanksgiving!
Check-in
Bib #’s will be provided on race morning. Once a bib# is assigned to you that will be your bib# through the entire series. Please check-in before every run to confirm your presence, bib# and distance running. You may change distance from 5K to 10K and vice versa race morning but you must notify event management during check in.
Weather
Cold. It’s a winter trail series!
