FERRIS 50 ENDURANCE RUN IN CARSON VALLEY

Run Where Grit Meets Greatness: The Inaugural Ferris 50M & 50K Celebrates Carson Valley’s Bold Legacy — November 8
Immerse yourself in the history of Carson Valley with the inaugural running of the Ferris 50M & 50K. Nestled at the foot of the Carson Range of the Sierra Nevada, Carson Valley was home to the inventor of the Ferris Wheel, George Washington Gale Ferris. We honor that legacy of ingenuity and grit with a mix of single-track trails, OHV trails, and minimal concrete over three distances that traverse the foothills of eastern Carson Valley.
All distances will start in the arena at the Douglas County Fairgrounds and end in a festival atmosphere at TJ’s Corral outside of the host hotel of Carson Valley Inn. Shuttles will be provided from the Carson Valley Inn for the convenience of runners. With views across the Valley to Job’s Peak in the west and few significant climbs, this course looks to be beautiful and fast.
For those wanting a less strenuous challenge, a 15k that connects from the Fairgrounds into Gardnerville and finishes along the Martin Slough Trail to TJ’s Corral is for you.
Date: November 8, 2025
Registration fee: 50M is $140, the 50K is $120, and the 15K is $55.
