Kennebec Mountain Run

07/04/2026

Register for the Kennebec Mountain Run on July 4th weekend and save with coupon code "USA"!

The registration price for KMR just increased to $90 on July 1st, but to celebrate the Fourth of July we're giving one more chance to register at a lower price. Now through July 6 at 11:59PM MT, register at runsignup.com/kmr with coupon code "USA" at checkout to drop the race registration price to $76 (a $14 discount). Durango Running Club members still get another 10% off.

Why run the KMR? See beautiful views of the La Plata Mountains, challenge yourself on the rugged 15-mile course, eat a free burrito at the finish line, and help raise money for La Plata County Search and Rescue. Plus pies are awarded to the top 3 men and women - what's more American than pie?

We can't wait to see you at the starting line on race day, August 1!

That’s a good looking shirt! Support your local businesses, support your local trail races

We’re a tight group at Backcountry Experience, and as much as we all love the outdoors and so many similar things, we’re still a diverse group of locals that love what we do and call Durango home. Crystal is our store manager, and also a mother of two daughters, a runner, a cyclist, a swimmer- plus she buys all of our soft goods and apparel. Next time you’re in the shop say hello!

We still have about two dozen spots left in the race, and if you're still on the fence signing up, please consider that all proceeds from the Kennebec Mountain Run benefit La Plata County Search and Rescue.

In fact, since 2021 this event has raised over $11,000 for LPCSAR. We hope to add another $4,000 to that total this year, but we can't do it without your participation!

Already signed up? Can't join us next weekend (Aug 2)? Share this with your friends and help us spread the word!
