Silverton Alpine Marathon
Race Day Weather
Comfortable temps, warming through the race, moderate wind
Mild 55°F temps at gun time mean comfortable early miles without overheating risk. Temperatures rising to 69°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Moderate winds around 16 mph may affect pacing on open sections of the course.
Get ready to experience an epic trail adventure! The 50K and Marathon (~26.7 miles) loop takes you through the heart of the San Juan Mountains, following the historic Alpine Loop jeep roads. Along the way, you’ll pass through ghost mining towns such as Howardsville, Eureka, Animas Forks, and Gladstone. The course’s high point is California Pass, sitting at a breathtaking 12,930 feet!
