Race Through The Telluride Box Canyon And Raise Money For Telluride Adaptive Sports Program
Blisters & Brews 5k Fundraiser Race
"Run, Walk and Roll"
Blisters & Brews is a 5k Fundraiser Race on the morning of Saturday, September 16, giving attendees the opportunity to exercise before the Festival even starts. Presented by the Telluride Blues Society, the 5k Race will raise money for the Telluride Adaptive Sports Program in remembrance of dear festival friend Felix Snow.
The course begins in Elks Park and climbs up the bike path to Pandora Mine and returns along the same route. Racers will follow Colorado Avenue east and pick up the river trail, climbing to the Pandora mine. Racers will turn around and enjoy cruising down to the finish at Elks Park. Two aid stations will provide water electrolytes and snacks.
Through registration fees, donations and the generous support of the Telluride community, we were honored to be able to raise over $7,500 for the Telluride Adaptive Ski Program since the start of the program. We're looking forward to another amazing year of support.
Don't want to run, but want to support? Non-athletic support donations are also available.
