Telluride Mountain Run

The Telluride Mountain Run takes place in the San Juan Mountains above Telluride, Colorado. The event features five technical mountain routes that use old mining roads, singletrack and alpine tundra across mountain passes, exposed ridgelines and high summits.

Distances:

Hill Climb
14 Miler
24 Miler
40 Miler
65 Miler

Runners encounter large elevation gain and will reach altitudes above 13,000 ft. Trails are often extremely rocky, steep and loose; at times there are no discernible trails. Several sections are exposed to falls, potential rockfall and hazardous weather.

Safety personnel monitor parts of the route, but participants are expected to be responsible for their own safety. The event is described as a technical mountain race and is not intended for beginners; prior mountain running experience is required.

Registration closes Tue, Aug 18 @ 11:59PM MT. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
