Kendall Mountain Run

The Kendall Mountain Run is a challenging mountain race held annually in Silverton, Colorado. It features two distances: a 12-mile course and an 11-kilometer course. Starting at 9,318 feet in downtown Silverton, runners ascend jeep roads to a thrilling final scramble to the summit of Kendall Mountain at 13,066 feet, offering stunning views of the San Juan Mountains.

The 12-mile race includes a descent over the mountain's backside, while the 11K is an out-and-back to Deer Park. The event honors a historic 1908 mountain climbing wager and emphasizes environmental stewardship as a cupless race. It also offers a Mountain Duo challenge combining this run with the Silverton Alpine races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
