Kendall Mountain Run

Kendall Mountain Run : July 19, 2026

The Kendall Mountain Run takes place in Silverton, Colorado. The event includes two primary distances and follows jeep roads from downtown Silverton up toward the summit of Kendall Mountain before returning to finish in Memorial Park. The race traces a historic route that originated from a 1908 wager and has been held annually since 1978.

Distances

• 12 Mile - summit included, out-and-back with descent over the backside
• 11K (6.8 miles) - out-and-back to Deer Park and return

Course and race details

The 12-mile course climbs from about 9,318 feet to the summit near 13,066 feet, with roughly 3,960 feet of total elevation gain and a final scramble to the peak. The 11K climbs to Deer Park, rising to about 10,840 feet with approximately 1,616 feet of elevation gain. Aid stations are provided along the routes and will refill runners who carry their own container because the event is cupless. Drop bag areas are available at the start/finish; aid stations on the 11K allow drop bags as well. No pacers are allowed and crew access is limited to the start and finish areas. A Mountain Duo option pairs this race with the Silverton Alpine event on the preceding day in several combo choices. Registration is non-refundable and non-transferable.
