The Grin & Bear It is Crested Butteโ€™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, weโ€™re offering a 25k mountain bike race. The bike will be technical and difficult – a great training opportunity for the Summer Grand Traverse.
