Half Marathon

This unique, home-grown half marathon features a spectacular trail run on Mount Crested Butte in southwestern Colorado's heart of the West Elk Mountains.

Runners follow a single track after starting at the base area and wind their way up the mountain to the top of the Silver Queen chairlift (almost 2000 feet of elevation gain). Then runners follow a single track back down via Painter Boy and to the base area, where we will be waiting with a post-race lunch celebration.

10k

The Living Journeys 10k is a scenic, single-track trail run that is a bit more approachable than the Living Journey's Half Marathon with only ~900 ft of elevation gain.

This course follows the same single-track climb as our Half Marathon but doesn't climb to the Silver Queens lift. You will start heading downhill at the first aid station at the yellow brick road intersection and meander down trails back to the base area for a post-race lunch celebration.

Mt Crested Butte is situated in the heart of the West Elk Mountains in southwestern Colorado. Runners will get views of the West Elk Mountains, the Raggeds, the Snowmass/Maroon Bells Wilderness, and the Gunnison National Forest.
