The Telluride Foundation Rundola: Run for Good

Where: Runners start at the base of the gondola on the town of Telluride side and finish at the top of the ridge. Runners and hikers will climb up the Telluride Trail (4,600 feet long, 40 feet wide with a 13% grade) or just bushwhack to the top of the gondola. There is an elevation gain of 1,810 feet.

When: The run will start at 8 a.m. on July 4th. Runners should walk back to Telluride or Mountain Village after the race. The finish line will close at 9:45 am.

Why:  The goal of the event is to incorporate an athletic event into the Fourth of July festivities. An athletic event seems to be the only thing missing from the fabulous weekend of festivities in Telluride. The event is put on by the Telluride Foundation and any proceeds from the event will benefit the Telluride Foundation.

Awards:  podium and breakfast will be held at Oak at 9:30 a.m. Medals will be awarded to the top three athletes in each category. Fastest Overall Woman & Fastest Overall Man receive a grand prize from Yeti Coolers.  You must pick up medals & prizes on July 4th, nothing will be shipped.
