Kennebec Mountain Run

The Kennebec Mountain Run takes place on August 1, 2026 at La Plata City Campground in the La Plata Mountains of southwest Colorado. It is a trail event over natural mountain terrain that reaches alpine elevations.

The course is a 15-mile trail that gains approximately 3,100 feet in elevation and tops out at just over 12,000 feet as it crosses Kennebec Pass. The route passes through high country typical of the La Plata Mountains and provides wide views of the Animas River and Dolores River valleys. Terrain details in the course description indicate rugged, alpine conditions and sustained climbing to the pass.

Proceeds from the event benefit La Plata County Search & Rescue. The event is organized by the Durango Running Club and is listed with local race information for runners in the region. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
