2021 Emma Coburn's Elk Run 5k is back...and this time in person! 

After 2 years of virtual racing, we’re thrilled to come back together again! Participants will receive the ultimate swag bag - the highly coveted Official Elk Run Hat (only available if you register, not for purchase), race bib, and much much more.

We will host our 5k race in Crested Butte, CO on September 25th, 2021 but if you can’t make it to run in person with us, you can still sign up to participate in the Virtual Elk Run 5k. Best of both worlds! In-person with us in Crested Butte or Virtually, you can still participate and help us raise money for a great cause!

In person race: 10am on September 25, 2021 in Crested Butte, CO at 3rd & Elk.

When you start your own fundraiser and raise over $250 and we'll waive your entry fee. Over $500? We'll give you a free sweatshirt! 

Over the last 4 years, we have raised over $140,000 for the cancer support charity, Living Journeys. 

Living Journeys provides financial assistance, emotional support, and enrichment programs to those suffering from cancer in the Gunnison Valley. Their work helps individuals and their families in a desperate time of need and offers some relief from financial stresses and emotional support programs offering tools to manage emotions such as fear, anxiety, and confusion that often accompany a cancer diagnosis.
