Wild Winter Round Up

Centennial Park

Carson City, NV 10K, 5K

This Event Took Place Sat. Jan 4, 2020

Course Description

A mix of single & double track trail with some technical rocky sections. This is wild horse country. If you don't run into some wild horses, you will definitely run into some wild horse manure! As usual with this series, the 5Kish could be anywhere between 3-4 miles but will stay as close to a 5K as possible if trail or weather conditions are bad. The 10K+ will typically get stretched out a little further if conditions are favorable, usually 6-9ish miles. Re-check often for updates this at this site, our website, Facebook or Instagram.




UPDATE 1/6/22: Short course will be around 3.5 to 4 miles. The long course 7 miles. Course conditions are challenging. There are rocky technical sections throughout the course routes as well as sections of snow and mud.
