Kendall Mountain Run

The Kendall Mountain Run is an annual mountain running event held in Silverton, Colorado, featuring two main distances: a challenging 12-mile race and an 11K. Starting at 9,318 feet in downtown Silverton, runners ascend jeep roads to a thrilling final scramble near the 13,066-foot summit of Kendall Mountain, offering spectacular views of the San Juan Mountains. The 12-mile course includes a descent over the mountain's backside, while the 11K is an out-and-back to Deer Park.

The race emphasizes environmental responsibility as a cupless event, requiring runners to carry their own hydration. It also offers a Mountain Duo challenge combining this race with the Silverton Alpine events for a weekend of mountain running. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
