Ferris 50 Endurance Run 2025

Visit Carson Valley is excited to announce the inaugural Ferris 50 Endurance Run event, taking place on November 8, 2025. This exciting race invites runners to compete in their choice of 3 distances – 50 miles, 50k, or 15k – spanning along a mix of single-track trails, OHV trails, and minimal concrete.

All distances will start in the arena at the Douglas County Fairgrounds at 920 Dump Rd in Gardnerville and end at a Finish Line Festival at TJ’s Corral outside of the host hotel of Carson Valley Inn, 1627 U.S. Hwy 395 N in Minden. Shuttles will be provided from the Carson Valley Inn for the convenience of runners. With views across the Valley to Job’s Peak in the west and few significant climbs, this course looks to be beautiful and fast.

Whether you are an experienced runner seeking a challenge in the off-season or a less experienced runner who is ready to explore greater distances at an entry level, Ferris 50 is an opportunity to test your mind and body while taking in the captivating views of Job’s Peak and Carson Valley. Come run where grit meets greatness!

Visit Carson Valley also welcomes all members of the community to join in celebrating with music, food, drinks, and vendors at the Finish Line Festival at TJ’s Corral from 11:00am-5:00pm. Cheer on the runners as they make the Finish Line!

Registration fees are as follows: 50M is $140, the 50K is $120, and the 15K is $55. For more information and a link to register, visit this event’s page at visitcarsonvalley.org or click here.
