Crested Butte Nordic's Alley Loop
The Alley Loop is not your typical Nordic Marathon. It is both a premier American Birkebeiner Qualifying event and Crested Butte’s most outrageous costume party of the year! The course winds through snowy streets, alleyways, and narrow bridges through the heart of downtown Crested Butte. Once you make it through town, you are rewarded with pristine tracks and exhilarating vistas throughout the 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!
Registration is open! Prices increase on November 1st.

Volunteers will be on the course to direct traffic and instruct in sizing and the use of the laser rifles.
Course: The course will be entirely on town park property and participants will be shown where the ski course lies. Presently the course is tentatively set to have the shooting range near the North ballfield and a figure 8 course that will have an adult and youth ski course. The ski course is kept short so that there is more time for the participants to practice and experience the shooting component of the sport.
Time, weather and demand permitting we will add more training times for participants and participants may stay after the event if they want to continue to practice.
Thank you to the Telluride Parks and Rec Staff, the Telluride Nordic Center, and USA Biathlon for their support in this endeavor.
