Volunteer Appreciation Party
If you volunteered your time with us, come out and celebrate! Since we couldn't throw-down last year, this is for all volunteers from 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. We are so excited to thank you with complimentary dinner, beer, and a sweet giveaway! Please RSVP so we know how much food to order. Given the size of our volunteer corps, we cannot accommodate plus ones. Please attend if you donated your time to CB Nordic (including the GT, of course)!

Grin & Bear It Trail Run
- 25K & 15K TRAIL RUN COMPETITIONS - Continuously run for three decades, The Grin & Bear It stands as Crested Butte’s oldest trail challenge.

The Grand Traverse Mountain Bike
The Grand Traverse Mountain Bike is no ordinary mountain bike race. It is a point-to-point from Aspen to Crested Butte, Colorado. In total, bikers travel 40 miles across the Elk Mountains with over 7,800′ of elevation gain. The course starts with a 3000′ ascent up Aspen Mountain before continuing deep into the Elk Mountains. This mountain bike race is not for the faint of heart.

Alley Loop Nordic Marathon
The Alley Loop is not your typical American Birkebeiner Qualifier. The course winds its way through snow-laden streets, alleyways and narrow bridges in the hart of downtown Crested Butte. At any given time you may be cheered-on by town revelers, find yourself surrounded by Oompa Loompas, or navigating a crazy costume train assemblage… Racers are sometimes forced into making daring passes and depending on their luck, may even get waylaid on a bridge for a brief moment. Once you make it through town, you are rewarded by pristine tracks and epic views on the surrounding Crested Butte Nordic trail network. If you like normal, you may want to look for another race. If you are up for anything, this is right up your alley!
