Last year, the Carson City Parks, Recreation & Open Space Department wanted to encourage local individuals and families of all ages and abilities to explore the many trails and open spaces by introducing Carson City’s Inaugural Trails Challenge.

This free program was launched on June 1, 2024, to celebrate National Trails Day and immediately grabbed the community’s attention. With almost 300 participants signed up to walk, run, hike, bike, and paddle the local trails, the Carson City Parks, Recreation & Open Space Department was overjoyed by the enthusiasm for this new program and is excited to continue it in 2025!

Carson City has many beautiful parks, open spaces, and trails. With views of the Carson River, the mountains, and the vast amounts of wildlife, there is so much of the great outdoors to explore.

Where: Long Ranch Park, 435 Longview Way, Carson City

When: March 15, 2025, at 2:00 p.m.
