Tails On The Trails: Healthy Parks Healthy People Trail Race Series

The 10K course will challenge you and your four-legged friend but will also reward you with it's world-class single track and beautiful views of Reno, Mt. Rose and Slide Mountain. Consisting of 6.2 miles of dirt trails, this the 10K Canine Climb will keep trail runners on their toes and keep those running with their canine companion focused on what waits around the bend. This adventurous course features several steep climbs, breathtaking mountain views, more than 700 feet of elevation gain, and ruff terrain. You'll find five aid stations, and two splash zones (for the pups, of course) scattered across the course, ensuring that you and your pup will stay hydrated through the entirety of the race.

We strongly encourage human participants who don’t have a canine companion to participate in this course (we will have three waves, the first being for dog-less participants)!

The 5K course isn't as intense as the 10K, but still will reward you and your four-legged friend with world-class single track and beautiful views of Reno, Mt. Rose, and Slide Mountain. Consisting of 3.1 miles of dirt trails, the 5K Ruff Ridge will ascend to a rocky ridge, high above the dog park, before descending a dizzying trail through a deep and winding canyon. This course features one steep climb, breathtaking mountain views, and around 500 feet of elevation gain, and ruff terrain. You'll find two aid stations, and one splash zone (for the pups, of course) strategically positioned on the course, ensuring that you and your pup will stay hydrated through the entirety of the course.

The Lazy Dog Jog is a 1-mile romp consisting of double-track scattered with obstacles for you and your canine companion to conquer. This course is perfect for small dogs and older dogs who want to participate in a race, but can't handle the ruff terrain that the 5K and 10K courses offer. The course is flat and offers great views of the Colored Hills to the east and the towering Sierra Nevadas to the west. Splash zones will be positioned throughout the course for dogs that want to cool off or take a H20 nap.
