Silverton Alpine Marathons
The Silverton Alpine Marathons, set in the stunning San Juan Mountains of Colorado, offers participants a choice of three challenging distances: a 50K, a marathon (approximately 26.7 miles), and an 8-mile run. The courses traverse historic mining ghost towns and feature breathtaking views, with the highest point reaching 12,930 feet at California Pass. The event emphasizes a cupless race format to promote environmental sustainability, encouraging runners to carry their own hydration containers.
Additionally, participants can take on the Mountain Duo Challenge by running both the Silverton Alpine and the classic Kendall Mountain Run, maximizing their adventure in this picturesque region. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
