Colorado Grand Tour Comes Through Leadville
The Colorado Grand® annual charity tour will be coming through Leadville the morning of Tuesday, September 15th.
To maintain participant safety and manage traffic congestion across mountain passes, the exact daily route and timelines are not published. However, the overall event takes place from Monday, September 14 through Saturday, September 19, 2026, starting and ending in Vail, Colorado.
The Colorado Grand was founded in 1989 by Englewood automotive enthusiast Bob Sutherland as an annual charity tour for 1960 and earlier sports and race cars of distinction. Created to capture and combine the inspiring beauty of Colorado and the spirit of vintage sports cars, the event aspires to give back to those in our state who need our help.
The Colorado Grand currently generates well over $800,000 annually for small Colorado charities and Western Slope towns as well as college scholarships to graduating high-school seniors in those towns. Current charities include the Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation, Flight for Life, CASA, and medical facilities in small towns.
Every September at the peak of the fall color season approximately 85 vintage cars are driven in this relaxed, non-competitive event, covering 1,000 miles through the Rockies in five days.
