The Original Growler Mountain Bike Race

May 27, 2023
7:00 am - 1:00 pm

Brought to you by Gunnison Trails, the Original Growler Mountain Bike Races are the primary fundraiser Gunnison Trails, a 501(c)3 non-profit trail advocacy organization.

THREE RACE COURSES to CHOOSE FROM!
In 2021, we introduced two new race courses for Sunday’s event: the 20 mile Pup and the 40 mile Big Bad, featuring the Aberdeen trails for the first time. These categories replace the 2-lap, 64 mile Growler. Change is good, and we saw an incredible show of racers for both Sunday events. For those still looking for a longer distance challenge, the 40 mile Big Bad features our classic Growler course, with the addition of the Aberdeen loop, Hartman Rocks longest and most backcountry trails. For 2023, the Pup 20 and Big Bad 40 races will start together from downtown Gunnison at 7am on Sunday morning.

Gunnison Trails is dedicated to maintaining and expanding the singletrack experience in the Gunnison area. 100% of the proceeds from the Original Growler benefit trails and Gunnison Trails, including the construction of over six new miles (and counting) of singletrack in the Signal Peak area behind Western Colorado University.
