Events Calendar

Every Saturday beginning June 14, join us for a free, fun, and friendly weekly 5k community event. Walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate – it's up to you!

Grab your ugliest holiday sweater and  join the Vail Recreation District for a fun-filled morning run through Vail Village while collecting donations for the The Community Market and a local toy drive spearheaded by Edwards Jones in Eagle to distribute to local families in need.

The 15th annual Vail Recreation District Krueger Family Shamrock Shuffle short and long races and the kids' fun run will celebrate all things green in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day! Taking place on the Vail Nordic Center trails, the event includes two race categories - snowshoes and running (with or without traction devices). The race will be followed immediately by a lively post-race party in the Gore Range Room at the Vail Golf & Nordic Clubhouse. 

Legend has it that Ben Krueger hid some a pot of gold when building the Vail Golf Course in the 1960s. He never disclosed the location to his family because he wanted it to be for the community to find! If you're lucky enough to find it and bring it back to the race finish, you could win a great prize from one of our sponsors! 

The Krueger Family Shamrock Shuffle offers a fun athletic competition and is a great way to keep you moving in the winter and kick off training for the summer Vail Trail Running Race Series. Sign up…whether you’re Irish or not!

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.

Coming back for year two, we’re offering a 25k mountain bike race. The bike will be technical and difficult - a great training opportunity for the Summer Grand Traverse. 

Run the Rockies trail 10k and half marathon will lead runners through the Frisco Peninsula trails with breathtaking views of Dillon Reservoir and the Ten Mile Range. This is a great course for a first time half-marathoner or runner looking for a fun course that offers single track and dirt road trails.

The Grand Traverse Mountain Run is a point-to-point ultramarathon from Crested Butte to Aspen, Colorado. The course follows the route of the Grand Traverse Backcountry Ski race. Runners travel 40 miles across the Elk Mountains with over 6,000′ of elevation gain.

The Grand Traverse is operated as a fundraising event for Crested Butte Nordic, a 501(c)(3) recreational non-profit organization.

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 6,800′ 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.
