WELCOME
Welcome to our little Bunny Hop! With over $100,000 in prize money ($20,000 to the men’s and women’s winners) we offer the highest purse of any 100 mile race, all on a very tough, very spectacular course in the great little town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado! We also have a great 50 miler!
A bit about us. The first year of the Run, Rabbit, Run 50 was in 2007. It was started as a charity run to benefit the kids (and other worthy causes) of northern Colorado, and to support the community of Steamboat Springs (so be sure to spend as much money as you can in our terrific little town.) The 100 mile run, featuring the highest purse money of any trail ultra in the world, began in 2012, and has since become among the world’s premier runs, attracting some of the world’s best ultrarunners – as well as first timers new to the sport – to the beautiful mountains of northern Colorado. We are so glad to have you.
Ultrarunning has a long and storied history in the U.S., and we believe in combining the best “old school” values with what is new and good in the sport. We recognize opinions may vary as to how best to do that. While these courses are among the most challenging out there, we believe anyone with the will and fortitude should be allowed the opportunity to test their mettle against them, so as of now, we don’t require any sort of qualifying run – just a willingness to suffer and give it your absolute best.
WE ARE A CHARITY RACE
Since 2007 the Run Rabbit Run has donated over $700,000 to non-profit and charitable organizations. In 2025 we donated over $82,000 to 20 northern Colorado charities. These organizations’ volunteer efforts have made the Run Rabbit Run a success.
Bunny Money! What’s in the Purse for 2026?
The Run Rabbit Run 100 mile race offers one of the largest prize money purses you will find. Our $20,000 first place and $100,000 overall purse is one of the largest in the world and by far the largest in the USA.
What Our Competitors Say
“What a fantastic race. I’ve completed the 50 miler 12 times and look forward to it every year.” – Melissa Uchitelle-Rogers
“As a long time Steamboat resident and Run Rabbit Run runner since 2012, this race to me, means community. The trails are quiet and beautiful in the fall with golden aspens and crisp temperatures, the views are spectacular and the aid stations full of smiling faces, but it is the grass roots community. The camaraderie between the runners and the joy of accomplishing big things in an atmosphere that honors what trail running should be.” – Cara Marrs
