A 15K skate race with two possible homes: the Peanut Lake trails from The Gronk if the snow is good in town, or Hartman Rocks outside Gunnison if it is not. CB Nordic calls the venue in the days before. Check the series page for the final location.

Part of the Pinnacle Orthopedics Community Race Series from CB Nordic: a different format and location each week, 5 to 25 kilometers for the main event, a 3 to 6 kilometer short course, and a free 1 to 2 kilometer kids race. Points accrue through the season, your best three results count, and the series wraps with awards after Magic Meadows Mayhem in March.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the race?

On the Peanut Lake trails from The Gronk, or at Hartman Rocks outside Gunnison if town is short on snow. Check the series page before race day for the final location.

Do I have to race the whole series?

No. Each race stands on its own. For the series standings, your best three long course scores count, and a fourth score only breaks ties.

Which course counts for series points?

Only the long course. The top 10 men and top 10 women earn points, 10 for first down to 1 for tenth, and the finale at Magic Meadows counts one and a half times.

How do I register?

Online through RunSignup, race by race. Registering for all six races takes 20 percent off, and the kids race is free.

Can I rent skis?

Yes, from the CB Nordic Center rental shop in town.
