The Fab 15 (15km freestyle) Race

Date: Sunday February 15, 2025
Time: 11am
Place: Skyway Trailhead on Grand Mesa
Registration: ONLINE REGISTRATION CLOSED. REGISTER ON SITE STARTING AT 10am.

This 15km freestyle race will help you work up to the 20km Mesa Meltdown (March 15). Accept the challenge of skiing 15km on some Colorado’s finest trails! Previous racers told us this was their favorite event of the year.

GMNC’s races are challenging for top athletes, but they’re also a  lot of fun for the rest of us who just want to get out and test ourselves against a beautiful, well-groomed course.

The Feb 15 is a 15km freestyle race, so you can skate or classic ski (but prizes are awarded according to finish, not technique). The course route will depend on snow conditions. Course map below!

This race is part of the Grand Mesa Nordic Race Series presented by Empowered Energy Systems.

Bib pickup and start are at Skyway Trailhead off of Highway 65 on the Grand Mesa.

The race starts at 11 am.

$25 entry fee for current members of the GMNC (discount taken at checkout)

$30 entry fee for non-members

$20 for collegiate skiers or racers under age 20.

RACE DAY REGISTRATION WILL BE AVAILABLE PRIOR TO THE RACE AT THE TRAILHEAD FOR AN EXTRA $5.

NOTE: Road closures do happen on Grand Mesa, and there can be weather so nasty even us nordic stalwarts find it necessary to postpone a race. Please check the website or our Facebook page for late-breaking news regarding races before heading up.
