VAIL With the exception of 2020, the King of the Mountain volleyball tournament has been one of the longest running athletic events in Eagle County, taking place every Father’s Day weekend since 1972.
Throughout its history, the tournament was run by Leon Fell, but Fell decided to hang it up after concluding the 47th edition of his annual event. Fell sold the tournament in July 2019.
The tournament is now run by Volleyball of the Rockies, which kicked off the 2021 event Thursday in the same way the King of the Mountain always begins, with the longest-playing players playing first.
Vail Recreation District / Special to the Daily
The Vail Recreation District’s trail running season gets underway on Saturday at 9 a.m. with the Boneyard Boogie 13K. The race in Eagle is the first event in the Vail Trail Running Series.
The Boneyard Boogie takes runners on a 13K scamper through pinyon groves and juniper shrubs on some of Eagle’s most scenic singletrack. The majority of the course takes place on singletrack with some doubletrack sections and a short jaunt down a paved bike path, with an elevation gain of approximately 1,400 feet reaching a maximum elevation of 7,650 feet. The Boneyard Boogie will be a loop course, starting and finishing at the Eagle Pool & Ice Rink.
