Race Through The Box Canyon To Support A Great Organization
Blisters & Brews 5k Fundraiser Race
"Run, Walk and Roll"
Join us on September 14 for the annual Blisters & Brews 5k Fundraiser Race to support the Telluride Adaptive Sports Program in remembrance of dear festival friend Felix Snow. Run, walk or roll your way through a beautiful race course that winds through the Telluride box canyon in support of a great non-profit organization.
Through registration fees, donations and the generous support of the Telluride community, we are honored to have been able to raise over $10,000 since the start of the program. We're looking forward to another amazing year of support. Not able to run, but want to support? Non-athletic support donations are also available.
