Blisters & Brews Telluride 5k
Telluride, United States • 19 Sep 2026
Blisters & Brews 5k Race - Telluride Blues & Brews Festival
Blisters & Brews is a 5k fundraiser race presented by the Telluride Blues Society that gives festival attendees an opportunity to exercise before the festival. The event raises money for the Telluride Adaptive Sports Program in remembrance of Felix Snow and accepts both registration fees and donations, including non-athletic support donations.
The route begins and ends in Telluride's Elks Park and follows the river trail, with an uphill section that passes views of Bridal Veil Falls and a gentler decline returning to town. The start and finish area and the course were planned to highlight the central area of Telluride and to provide a safe route for participants.
Post-race activities include live music, free beer and free yoga sessions. Race winners receive a variety of gear and swag. Registration is available online and at designated on-site locations prior to the event, with tiered fees and an on-site registration option.
