The Galena Creek Visitor Center is celebrating our 9th annual Galena Fest to promote outdoor recreation in our community.  On September 24th, 2017, join us for family-friendly activities and competitive challenges in the beautiful Galena Creek Recreation Area.

Overview:
All under the shade of towering Jeffery Pines at Bearmat Picnic Area, this year’s combination of festival activities will include the return of the area’s toughest mountain bike challenge, a beautiful trail run, music, food, refreshments, and "Art in the Park."

Test your skills against your competitors (and the mountain!) at our challenging bike ride and trail run, stretch your legs and enjoy the forest on our walk, and bring the family for the always adorable Kids' Run. Distance details below:

Bloody Rose Bike Climb: 12.20 miles
Wicked Thorn Trail Run:  7.25 miles
Forest Walk:                    3.00 miles
Kids' Run:                        1.00 mile

All proceeds from this event go toward outdoor education programs for Washoe County schools, including forest field trips and summer Science Exploration Camps scholarships.
