Ferris Fifty

The Ferris Fifty is an endurance running event held in Minden, Nevada, featuring three distances: 50 miles, 50 kilometers, and 15 kilometers. Set in the scenic Carson Valley at the foot of the Carson Range of the Sierra Nevada, the course offers a mix of single-track trails, OHV trails, and minimal pavement, with views of Job’s Peak and mostly gentle terrain. The race starts at the Douglas County Fairgrounds and finishes at TJ’s Corral near the Carson Valley Inn, where a festive atmosphere with music, food trucks, and vendors awaits.

Aid stations and safety patrols support runners throughout the course, which traverses diverse surfaces including dirt, gravel, and sand. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
