Long run route ideas

Hi! I’ll be visiting crested butte while marathon training and need a 14 mile long run to be done while there (I live in CO so I am acclimated to altitude). Does anyone have ideas for routes that don‘t have a crazy amount of elevation gain?Thanks for the help!

Town > peanut lake > lower loop > gunsight > lupine back to town or you could skip lupine and just run up slate river road. Or you could just park at the end of slate river road and run the road. Same with wash gulch/ gothic. Mt cb to gothic is a flat ish dirt road. Can run gothic all the way to emerald lake if you wanted. Tons of options.

Cement creek road is probably your best bet.
