Community support, logistics and volunteer needs
The Imogene Pass Run provides annual scholarships in excess of $25,000 to student athletes and donates over $30,000 per year to local school running programs and charities that support youth athletics. Race proceeds benefit local organizations, including the track teams of Telluride, Ouray and Silverton, Ouray and Telluride Search and Rescue, the Telluride Ski and Snowboard Team, and the Montrose Amateur Radio Club.
The event relies on a large volunteer program requiring more than 200 volunteers. Volunteer roles include packet and registration support (locations include the Telluride Elks Lodge and the Ouray Community Center) and aid stations on both the Telluride and Ouray sides. Organizers note extreme weather conditions are possible at aid stations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
