The Vail Recreation District 5K & 10K @ 10,000 Feet is a Running race in Vail, Colorado consisting of a 10K Trail Run and 5K Trail Run.

The 10@10 features both 5k and 10k trail running race distances to give everyone the opportunity to get out and race! Both races start at 8 a.m. at the top of the Gondola One at Mid-Vail on Vail Mountain, with both the 5k and 10k races taking place above 10,000 feet of elevation with the high point at nearly 11,000 feet. The average grade of the 10k is 7 percent with an elevation gain of 1,172 feet. Both races finish at Mid-Vail at the top of the mountain. Gondola One in Vail, which accesses Mid-Vail, is open for spectators to ride to the top for FREE from 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. Failure to load the gondola by 8:00am will make it so you will not be able to access Mid-Vail without paying a daily scenic ride ticket for $34. Dogs or other pets are not permitted to load the Gondola. Post-race, the gondola will be free for racers & spectators to download to Vail Village.
