Kennebec Mountain Run
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!
- This event is capped at 150 runners, and will fill up.
- Refund Policy: No refunds, deferrals, or transfers. If you cannot run for any reason, please know your entry fee is going to a very good cause: La Plata County Search & Rescue (LPCSAR). Thank you for supporting them! Should the entire event be cancelled, we will offer an option to defer to the following year, or to request a partial refund.
- Because this event benefits LPCSAR, we require all participants to have an active Colorado Search & Rescue (CORSAR) Card. If you do not have one, you may purchase a CORSAR card online for $3.
- KMR takes place through special use permit from the USFS Columbine Ranger District and La Plata County.
The KMR course switches directions each year:
- Clockwise during ODD years (2025, 2027 etc). Click here for clockwise course map and elevation profile.
- Counterclockwise during EVEN years (2026, 2028 etc). Click here for counterclockwise course map and elevation profile.
There is ONE aid station that you will pass through TWO times:
- Aid #1: The Fork, mile 4.2
- Aid #2: The Fork, mile 10.4
- Aid station will provide water and Tailwind. Please carry any additional fuel you may want during the race.
- You MUST carry your own hydration system. We strive to minimize the amount of waste and do not plan to provide cups at the aid station.
- While first-responders are present, response time may be impacted by rugged mountain terrain. Participants are ultimately responsible for any evacuation.
