Carson Canyons Trail Runs

Carson Canyons Trail Runs, part of Ascent Runs’ Fall Trail Series in Carson City, Nevada, offers four distances: 6K, 12K, 22K, and 30K, starting at Long Ranch Park. The courses traverse scenic but demanding trails in and above Longview Canyon, including Ash Canyon, Kings Canyon, and the Lincoln Bypass, with rugged single-track and jeep-road segments. Elevation ranges from about 900 feet on the 6K to nearly 3,000 feet on the 30K.

Aid stations vary by distance, with a no-cups policy requiring runners to carry a bottle. There are no finisher awards; finishers receive a coupon for Fox Brewpub, and the series includes Jacks Valley and Desert Island runs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
