Box Canyon Trail Races

The Box Canyon Trail Races in Telluride, Colorado, offer two challenging and scenic mountain runs: a 30K and a 10-mile race. The 30K is a tough loop featuring about 5,800 feet of elevation gain, passing landmarks like Bridal Veil Falls and the Smuggler-Union Hydroelectric Plant, reaching a high point of 13,000 feet at Wasatch Junction. The 10-mile race ascends Bear Creek Canyon and climbs to the top of Telluride Ski Resort, with roughly 3,500 feet of elevation gain, showcasing stunning 360-degree views of the San Juan Mountains.

Both courses include varied terrain with singletrack and double track trails, finishing back in town. Runners should be prepared for alpine weather and carry rain gear. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
