Kendall Mountain Run
The Kendall Mountain Run is a mountain trail event in Silverton, Colorado held on Sunday, July 18, 2027 at Kendall Mountain. The event uses jeep roads from downtown Silverton and climbs from about 9,318 feet to roughly 13,060 feet, with a final 300-foot scramble to the summit on the 12-mile course. A six hour cutoff applies to the event.
Distances:
- 12 Mile : Summit route with final 300 foot scramble.
- 11K : Out-and-back jeep road to Deer Park and return.
The 12-mile course ascends to the summit and then continues over the backside to reconnect at the Notch to avoid narrow scramble sections and loose rockfall; if summit conditions deteriorate, runners will be turned around at the Notch. Aid stations are placed along the routes (Deer Park, Notch and other locations); the summit has no aid station. Aid stations are described as well stocked, and some allow drop bags. The event is cupless, so participants must carry a personal container to refill at aid stations.
Crew access is limited to the start and finish areas and pacers are not allowed. The event includes chip timing, finisher recognition, age-group awards, and a finisher award specific to Kendall Mountain. The run traces a long local history that began from a 1908 wager and was established as an annual race beginning in 1978. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
