Course Summary
The 45th Annual Kendall Mountain Run features a jeep road climb starting from the mountain town of Silverton, Colorado at 9,318 feet to within 300 vertical feet of the summit. There is a final scramble to the top of 13,066 Kendall Mountain and then runners return back down to the finish in Memorial Park! There will be a shorter 11 kilometer option that will turn around at Deer Park.

Participants in the 12-miler will summit Kendall Mountain, then return by going over the backside of the mountain to link up with the original course at the “Notch”. This prevents passing and loose rockfall in the narrow scramble section, plus gives runners an awesome view of town.
