Silverton Alpine Marathons

The Silverton Alpine Marathons, held in Silverton, Colorado, offers an exhilarating trail running experience through the stunning San Juan Mountains. Participants can choose from three race distances: a 50K, a marathon, or an 8-mile run, all set against a backdrop of historic mining ghost towns and breathtaking alpine scenery. The marathon and 50K courses feature significant elevation gains, with the highest point reaching 12,930 feet at California Pass.

Runners can also participate in the Mountain Duo Challenge, combining their race with the classic Kendall Mountain Run for an extended adventure. Volunteers play a crucial role in the event's success, contributing to a vibrant community atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
