It was a run and walk through downtown Carson City that can only be done the Silver State way here on this Nevada Day. The all-ages Nevada Day Classic Run and Walk is a way to get the blood pumping before the parade starts.

The event, organized by the Tahoe Mountain Milers running club and its members in cooperation with many sponsors, has supported many community organizations over the years. This year’s event benefits Guide Dogs for the Blind.
