One of the most scenic races in the world.

Winding over the Colorado National Monument from Grand Junction to Fruita, Colorado, the U.S. Bank Rim Rock Run boasts scenery unlike any other race. The peaceful course features views of towering monoliths, vast plateaus and canyon panoramas. Sheer-walled, red rock canyons surround the twists and turns of the course. The race finishes at the local Fruita Community Center, at a celebration that includes live entertainment, local food, vendors, giveaways, awards, and a beer garden. Join us this year as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Rim Rock Run!

Proceeds from the U.S. Bank Rim Rock Run benefit scholarships for Colorado Mesa University Track & Cross Country student-athletes and the non-profit organization, Greater Grand Junction Sports Commission.
