The Go Initiative is proud to host the 8th annual Thighs Before Pies Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day, November 28th, 2024. Community members of all ages + abilities are encouraged to take on the 5K run or 1K Gobble Wobble challenge. We even have a 0K Gravy Train for non-runners who would like to support this fundraiser, see details below! MISSION Proceeds from this event support the Go Girls mountain bike program. This program strives to provide opportunities to optimize strong body and mind through functional fitness, and healthy lifestyle guidance and achievement. We believe that focusing our resources on youth programs will create a ripple effect of well-being within our community.
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
