Celebrate Independence Day with the Telluride Foundation at the 16th Annual Rundola on July 4th, 2026! This exciting uphill foot race supports the Good Neighbor Fund, which offers emergency financial assistance for local individuals and families in crisis—helping with housing, transportation, medical expenses, and more.

The Rundola is family friendly and open to all—whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual hiker, or just looking for a fun holiday challenge. The race kicks off at 7:30 a.m. at the base of the Gondola in Telluride and climbs to the top of San Sophia Ridge via the Telluride Trail.

This year’s Rundola will feature a single course route via the Telluride Trail. U.S. Forest Service permitting allows for only one approved course. We appreciate your understanding and are excited to continue bringing runners the incredible mountain experience and community spirit that make the Rundola such a special tradition.

Top finishers in each category and leading fundraisers will receive medals + prizes, and every participant gets custom rundola swag

Registration for 2026 is NOW OPEN. Register HERE.
