Silver State 50K & 50M Endurance Runs

The Silver State 50/50 has a long and rich history as one of the most challenging trail runs on the West Coast. The 50/50 offers a wide variety of terrain for all types of runners, with plenty of climbing and descending. Our course has enough dirt, rock, pine trees, excellent single track, altitude and exquisite views of the Sierra Nevada and the Truckee Meadows to satisfy the demands of runners who yearn for a fun, challenging day. Both our 50-mile and 50-kilometer races are considered excellent trainers for the Western States 100-miler and the Tahoe Rim Trail 100-miler.

Our trail half-marathon provides 13.1 miles of single track, with climbing and descending through some of the most memorable country in the West. No matter what event you choose, you will find a well-marked course, friendly volunteers, lots of nourishment as well as salty and sweet goodies at the aid stations. There is also great post-race fun, food and drink at the finish at Rancho San Rafael Park.

Note: The Silver State 50-mile, 50-kilometer Endurance Runs and Trail Half-Marathon and finishes at Rancho San Rafael Park in northwest Reno. This year’s race will and finish from the Great Basin Adventure area, next to the Arboretum, in Rancho San Rafael Park.
