The Colorado Cross Country Ski Association

The 31st annual Ride for the Pass start is at the Winter Closure Gate on Highway 82. 

The Ride has three options: The first ends at ghost town of Independence ten miles from the start (climbing approximately 2,300 feet, ending at an elevation of about 10,800 feet). The second option ends at Weller Lake, which is just over two miles from the starting line and climbs 500 verticle feet, making this option more family-friendly. There is also an e-bike (pedal assist only) option. Join this "car free" ride to support the Independence Pass Foundation and ride this iconic Colorado road before it opens to vehicle traffic for the season.

A barbecue + raffle will follow the ride at the winter gate (weather permitting).

For the ninth year, the Town of Frisco is hosting a series of four kids’ trail running races over the summer. The entire family is welcome to come out for a night of family fun at the Frisco Adventure Park. Once the kids cross the finish line, they can grab some snacks at the Frisco Day Lodge to celebrate their accomplishment.

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.
