The Rundola

The Rundola takes place in Telluride, Colorado, on July 2, 2027, over a very short 0.9-mile course (1.4 km) with about 1,800 feet (551 m) of elevation gain. What sets it apart is its profile: a route that climbs steadily through the mountains and dense forest typical of the Telluride area.

This short, intense format calls for a concentrated effort, much like a vertical mountain race. Telluride's high altitude, in a historic mining town nestled in the San Juan Mountains, adds to the difficulty of this brief but sustained climb.
