The Grin & Bear It

Join CB Nordic for 15 km and 25 km trail run competitions.
July 12, 2025

Two runners head up the Baxter Gulch Trail on the 25 km run.

The Grin & Bear It is Crested Butte’s oldest trail challenge. Historically presented as a sprint to Green Lake and back, this classic event has evolved to offer a 25k Loop competition while still maintaining the traditional 15k race.
