Activities today include fitness events, an endurance run, a bike ride, a BMX benefit ride, a fundraising rummage sale at Carson Mall, plus a family fun celebration at Lone Mountain Veterinary Hospital as it celebrates American Animal Hospital Association Accredited Hospital Day and much more. Enjoy the day.

Do you have an event or happening you'd like people to know about? Tell us about it by clicking here, filling out the details and we'll tell Carson City area readers about your event or happening. Not seeing your event you wish to promote? You can also submit the relevant information, also known as the "5Ws and How” to editor@carsonow.org. We will update this calendar as submissions are made.

Here's what's happening Sunday:

Tahoe Rim Trail Endurance Run. 5 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. at Tahoe Rim Trail — Spooner Summit Trailhead.

The 100 mile race will simply be the 50 mile course run twice.

But make no mistake, there is nothing simple about the 100 mile course. Please refer to the event website for a course description, elevation profile, and finishing times to get a better perception of the difficulty of this course. All runners must be sufficiently prepared for all trail and environmental conditions. Running any 100 mile race is a true challenge physically, mentally and emotionally. Don’t expect to run a PR here. DO expect to find the finest aid stations in ultra running, epic scenery, and world famous volunteers.
