Telluride Mountain Run

The Telluride Mountain Run is a technical mountain race held in the San Juan Mountains above the historic mining town of Telluride, Colorado. The event features multiple routes that traverse old mining roads, singletrack and alpine tundra, and cross mountain passes, exposed ridgelines and high summits.

Courses include large elevation gain and reach altitudes above 13,000 ft. The organizer describes the race as extremely difficult and emphasizes the on-course experience: the effort of high elevation, the colors of the San Juans, and the sense of finishing at the same location where the race began.

Available distances include:

Hill Climb
14-Mile
24-Mile
40-Mile
65-Mile

Dates shown on materials include August 24, 2024 and August 22-23, 2026; registration opens Feb 1, 2026. The Telluride Mountain Run is an Equal Opportunity Service Provider and is a permittee of the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forest.
