24th Annual Alley Loop Nordic Marathon
February 6, 2010 (First 425 Participants get Goody Bags!!!!!!)
An American Birkebeiner qualifying race, Colorado Cup Series Race AND Crested Butte’s largest costume party, the Alley Loop features a unique course that winds its way through the streets and alleys of downtown CB! The course meanders through snow-lined alleys, behind false-fronted stores and restaurants, over footbridges and alongside residences before heading out to the pristine outskirts of Crested Butte. Great prizes and loads of fun for all ages and abilities!
