About the Event

Join us for the Kennebec Mountain Run, a challenging 15-mile trail run through the stunning La Plata Mountains of southwest Colorado.

Test your alpine running skills on this rugged course that features 3,100 feet of elevation gain, topping out at 12,200 feet through Kennebec Pass! Enjoy sweeping views of the Animas River and Dolores River valleys, and alpine wildflowers in full bloom.

Established in 2001, KMR has become a local favorite. We are proud to support La Plata County Search & Rescue with all proceeds from this non-profit event!
