8 miles | 4,600 ft of vertical gain | Keeler, CA → Cerro Gordo

Race Overview

  • Legendary Challenge: Join us for a legendary race in the Eastern Sierra — an 8-mile uphill battle climbing 4,600 vertical feet to the historic ghost town of Cerro Gordo.
  • Unique Experience: This is not your average run. This is a gut-check. A pilgrimage. A challenge against time, gravity, and yourself.
  • Historic Route: The infamous Cerro Gordo Road was carved out in 1865 to shuttle silver down from the mountains. Now, once a year, runners race back up.
  • Feel the Glory: Chase glory, chase ghosts, and chase history.

What Happens at the Top

  • Food & Drink: A giant mountaintop BBQ with mains, sides, and drinks.
  • Entertainment: Live music and games.
  • Exploration: Self-guided exploration of the abandoned town.
  • Triumph: A well-earned sense of triumph.

What's Included with Your Entry

  • Support: Aid stations every mile, stocked with fuel and encouragement.
  • Merchandise: A limited-edition Silver Run 2027 shirt and finisher's medal.
  • BBQ: Mountaintop BBQ (mains, sides, drinks).
  • Transportation: Shuttle vans for the ride back down.

  • Encouragement: All are welcome — as long as you’re willing to dig deep and climb.
