Which nights should you book for 53rd Annual Imogene Pass Run?
Book the night before the race — 11 September 2026 — to be rested and ready for the early start. Also consider booking the night after — 12 September — as many runners and supporters prefer to recover, shower, and rest before travelling home; road closures and fatigue make same-day departure difficult. If you're only attending the race day itself and plan to leave later on 12 September, confirm transport options in advance, as services may be limited post-race.
How do you get to Telluride?
All listed hotels are 0km from the venue in Telluride, meaning they are within immediate walking distance of the start line — no driving or transit is needed on race morning. Road closures will be in effect on 12 September, so relying on a car to reach the start is not advisable. If arriving by car the night before, park once and walk; do not plan to drive on race morning. Ride-share drop-off near the start may be possible but subject to closures — check local advisories the day before.
Where do you eat and drink after the race?
After finishing the race, several cafes and casual eateries are within easy walking distance of the start area in Telluride’s town centre. Options range from coffee shops with outdoor seating to pubs serving hearty meals — ideal for refuelling and relaxing with fellow runners and supporters.
What is the area around Telluride like?
Telluride is a compact mountain town with historic architecture, pedestrian-friendly streets, and dramatic alpine scenery. The area around the start line is central, with restaurants, small shops, and public spaces all within a short walk. Accommodation is clustered in low-rise buildings — many with lifts — and the terrain is generally flat near the start, though the broader town sits on a slope.
Frequently asked questions
How far is the start line from the hotels?
All listed hotels are 0km from the venue in Telluride, meaning they are at or immediately adjacent to the start line — no walking distance to account for.
Can I get breakfast before an early start?
Hotels do not have breakfast details provided, but rooms at Aspen Ridge and Palmyra properties include facilities like kettles — suitable for preparing your own early meal. Local cafes open early, but hours vary; confirm ahead if relying on them.
Is late checkout possible after the race?
Late checkout is not confirmed in the data, but given that marathon runners need time to shower and recover post-race, it is advisable to request this when booking — especially at 3- and 4-star properties where flexibility may be available.
Will road closures affect getting to my hotel?
Road closures on race morning (12 September) affect vehicle access near the start — but since all hotels are 0km from the venue, you’ll already be on foot or in place the night before. Arriving by car on race day is strongly discouraged.
