About the Event

Test your mountain mettle on a high-altitude proving ground beneath Colorado's tallest peaks. The Silver Rush 50 Run returns on Saturday, 11th July 2026, offering a formidable 50-mile ultra through the historic mining district of Leadville. With a staggering 8,000 feet of elevation gain across technical climbs and thrilling descents, this race packs more punch per mile than its legendary big brother, serving as the perfect—and mandatory—qualifier for the iconic Leadville Trail 100 Run. Traverse breathtaking panoramas above 10,000 feet, where thin air and relentless terrain demand true grit, guts, and determination. Earn your place among the elite and secure your spot on the starting line of an ultra-running classic where every step is earned in the shadow of 14,000-foot Rocky Mountain giants. Registration opens January 9th—are you ready for the rush?
