Kendall Mountain Run

Silverton, United States • 19 Jul 2026

Event details

The Kendall Mountain Run takes place Sunday, July 19, 2026, in Silverton, Colorado. The event is in its 45th year and offers two distances:

  • 12 Miles
  • 11 Kilometer

There is a 6-hour time limit for the event.

Course and logistics

Both courses start in downtown Silverton on jeep roads and use aid stations along the route. The 12-mile course climbs from about 9,318 feet and gains approximately 3,960 feet, reaching a maximum elevation near 13,060 feet before a scramble to the summit and a descent back to Memorial Park. The 11K climbs from the same start elevation to a turnaround at Deer Park, with about 1,616 feet of elevation gain and a maximum near 10,840 feet.

Aid stations on the 12-mile course include Deer Park (3.3 miles), a Notch station (small aid/water), and the finish; there is no aid at the summit. The 11K has an aid station at Deer Park and the finish. The event is cupless: runners must carry their own container to refill at aid stations. Crews are allowed only at start and finish areas; pacers are not permitted. Drop bag areas are provided at the start/finish and at some aid stations. The event also offers a Mountain Duo option combining this race with the Silverton Alpine distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
