Why:  The goal of the event is to incorporate an athletic event into the Fourth of July festivities.   An athletic event seems to be the only thing missing from the fabulous weekend of festivities in Telluride.  The event is put on by the Telluride Foundation and any proceeds from the event will benefit the Telluride Foundation.

Awards:  podium and breakfast will be held at Oak at 10a.m.  Medals will be awarded to top three athletes in each category.  Each adult category winner will receive a new pair of Salomon shoes and a one month membership to FUEL Telluride.  A grand prize pack will be awarded to the fastest overall man & fastest overall woman presented by Telluride Sports.
