27th Annual Alley Loop Nordic Marathon February 2, 2013
Part of the American Ski Marathon Series and an American Birkebeiner
qualifying race, the Alley Loop is also Crested Butte’s largest costume
party and biggest Nordic event of the year. The Alley Loop’s unique
course starts and finishes in the heart of downtown Crested Butte, and
in between it meanders through snow-lined alleys, behind false-fronted
stores and restaurants, over footbridges and alongside residences. The
adult races head out to the expertly groomed Nordic trails on the
pristine outskirts of Crested Butte. In addition to the fun races for
all ages and abilities, the event also features a Friday night ski-pub
crawl, “Taste of the Alley,” and an awards ceremony with great prizes
and a raffle.
The Kick’n'Glide Gala is our annual fundraiser that happens
Thanksgiving Weekend. Rounding out the Thanksgiving Training Camp, the
Gala offers an excellent opportunity for visitors, locals, camp
participants, and loyal Nordic patrons to mix and mingle in a fun
