From the Organizer
This year marks the 43rd Annual Ourayce 10K Fun Run. This event is hosted by the Home Trust of Ouray County, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide permanently affordable housing and housing-related resources to modest-income households in Ouray County.
All proceeds from this event go toward the Home Trust's affordable workforce housing projects in Ouray County.
This 10K Fun Run starts and ends at the historic Ouray Community Center in the heart of the City of Ouray and is noted for it's scenic beauty in "the Switzerland of America". You'll be too busy looking at the views to notice your lungs burning.
Teams, costumes, and other positive ways to have a fun time for a good cause are encouraged.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
