Telluride Mountain Run
The Telluride Mountain Run is a set of mountain races held in the San Juan Mountains above Telluride, Colorado. The event offers multiple route options that follow old mining roads, singletrack and sections of alpine tundra across mountain passes, exposed ridgelines, and high summits.
Distances offered include:
- Hill Climb
- 14 Miler
- 24 Miler
- 40 Miler
- 65 Miler
Courses reach altitudes above 13,000 ft and include steep, rocky terrain. Trails are often very rocky and in places there may be no defined trail. Some sections are exposed to falls, potential rockfall, and hazardous weather. Safety personnel monitor parts of the route, and participants are expected to be responsible for their own safety.
The organizer describes the event as a technical mountain race rather than a typical trail run, and notes that experience in mountainous terrain is required. The event emphasizes the on-course experience, including high elevation and mountain scenery. Registration closes on Tue, Aug 18 at 11:59 PM MT.
