Series Information
Desert Island Trail Runs, formerly Love Can Be Cold, is the third and last event in our new Fall Series. This series highlights the extensive trail networks surrounding Carson City, NV. It is a merger between Carson Canyons, a more traditionally structured trail race, and two of our former winter trail series runs Cold Turkey and Love Can Be Cold, which were more casual runs. Developing a format for this merger has been challenging. I really want to maintain the same vibe and atmosphere which was so popular in our winter trail series, but also provide more options of distances running in more mild temperatures that Fall brings. We'll see how it goes this year and make adjustments for next year. Your feedback is always welcome!

Aid Stations
Aid stations! I know this will come as a big surprise to those of you who have participated in our Winter Traill Series for the past 15 years. But now that the WTS has been put to bed and we are beginning a new tradition in the Fall, we thought that with milder temps we could go longer distances and those longer distances will require aid stations. These stations will have water only.5K: No aid10K: No aid21K: 1 aid station at about mile 7
Awards

Overview
Email the RD at [email protected] to get on the waiting list, everybody who has ever been on the waiting list has gotten in25 and 50 mile fatass style run along the wild and Scenic North Fork of the American River. Expect roughly 10,000' of climbing for the 25 mile and 20,000' for the 50, with a good amount of bushwhacking and route finding thrown in for good measure. Free to enter, but the rule is that you have to wait at the finish for at least one runner to come in.The forest service has confirmed that we don't need a permit as long as we keep it small, so registration for both distances combined will be limited to 50 people. Since portions are off trail, I'm not going to post the map until the week before the event, but it will start and finish at the Shirttail Creek Campground near Foresthill, CA and go up and down out of the canyon using Euchre Bar, Pioneer Mine, Ebeneezer's highway, Green Valley, Mumford Bar, and Italian Bar. There will be one location for drop bags and crew to meet you that you will pass through twice.Don't kid yourself, this is a hard, hard run. Last year's finishers took 14 hours for the 25, and 25 hours for the 50. Distances are approximate, and may refer to nautical miles.Ultrasignup is gracious enough to host fatass events for no cost, but unfortunately the waitlist does not set up for free events. If the event is full, email the RD to get on the waitlist. Everybody who has ever been on the waitlist has gotten in. We have a group campsite for Friday and Saturday night.

Join us for the 55th running of the Journal Jog 8K — "Reno’s Oldest Footrace". Since 1969, this iconic event has been a proud tradition of the Northern Nevada running community, bringing generations of runners together in the heart of Old Southwest Reno.
The flat, fast 8K course winds through scenic, historic neighborhoods before routing into and finishing directly on the Reno High School track — a rare and unforgettable experience you won’t find at any other race.
Families are part of the tradition! The Stroller-Run division gives parents the chance to truly race with their child and compete for a top-three finish, while all other stroller walkers will join the runners and walkers in the main Run/Walk/Stroller-Walk division.
Introducing children to the joy of running, the Junior Jog race will allow children to experience the thrill of participating in a large community race and finish on the track alongside the 8K field. This separate race will take place later in the morning, welcome kids ages 10 and under, and consist of a short, safe run centered around the finish area.
Start Times:
Stroller Run – 7:25 AM
Runners / Walkers / Stroller-Walk – 7:30 AM
Junior Jog - 9:00 AM
Be part of Reno running history. Carry the tradition forward. Experience the Journal Jog 8K!
