16th Annual Telluride Foundation Rundola: Run for Good
The Rundola is an annual uphill foot race that benefits the Good Neighbor Fund. The event follows a single approved course from the town of Telluride up to San Sophia ridge via the Telluride Trail. U.S. Forest Service permitting allows only one course route.
Participants start at the base of the gondola on the Telluride side and finish at the top of the ridge. The route climbs the Telluride Trail, a course of approximately 2.4 miles with an elevation gain of about 1,800 feet.
The event is open to runners and hikers who register and wear a race bib; dogs are not allowed. Categories are by age group and gender with brackets that include 10 & under, 11-13, 14-18, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80+. Medals are awarded to the top three finishers in each category, and overall fastest woman and man receive grand prizes. A podium and breakfast are scheduled at Oak.
Bibs and T-shirts are available for pick up under the white Telluride Foundation tent at Oak Street Gondola Plaza on July 2 and July 3. Registration opens May 11 and closes June 21; the listed registration fee is $45. All proceeds support one-time hardship grants from the Good Neighbor Fund for local households in financial crisis.
