Kendall Mountain Run, Silverton, Colorado
The Kendall Mountain Run is set for Sunday, July 19, 2026 in Silverton, Colorado. The event offers two distances:
- 12 Mile : summit route to 13,066 ft with about 3,960 ft total elevation gain.
- 11 km : out and back to Deer Park with about 1,616 ft elevation gain.
The 12 mile course begins in downtown Silverton and follows jeep roads uphill, concluding with a 300-foot vertical scramble to the summit of Kendall Mountain. Runners climb from 9,318 ft to 13,066 ft, then descend back to the finish in Memorial Park. The route includes a section over the backside that links back at the Notch to reduce passing and loose rockfall in the narrow scramble. If summit conditions deteriorate due to weather, officials will turn runners around at the Notch.
The 11 km course starts at the same town elevation, climbs to Deer Park as a turnaround, and returns to Memorial Park. Aid stations are placed along each course; the 12 mile route has aid at Deer Park and the Notch but none at the summit. The event is cupless: participants must carry their own container to refill at aid stations.
Logistics notes: there is a six hour time limit for the 12 mile distance, no pacers are allowed, crew access is limited to start and finish areas, and designated drop bag areas are provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
