The Race Is On! The Creede Mountain Run, established in 1987, celebrates the end of summer and the beginning of fall in our small historic mountain town. This event offers participants the opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking San Juan Mountains in Colorado on a 2, 12, 22 mile, or 50K course!

The race begins within the town of Creede, leading racers along Main Street early in the morning, as sleepy stores open and coffee shop patrons step onto the street to cheer racers on. The course follows Willow Creek out of town and up towards the Black Pitch, testing their endurance for quick altitude gain while piquing their interest with old mines hanging precariously from vertical cliffs. The 12-milers round out the Bachelor Loop, while the 22-milers climb up to the top of the Continental Divide, before making their return into Creede and the finish line.  The 50k race branches off for a gorgeous stretch of single track at the head of Miners Creek, then down the mountain to return to town.

Registration for the 22 Mile and 50K CLOSES at midnight Aug 27, 2025.  To ensure a safe race for all, there is NO DAY OF REGISTRATION for the 22mi & 50k races.

Registration for the 12 Mile and 2 Mile Run/Walk closes at 8:30am Aug 30, with a prompt 9:00 start time.
