2023 Lost Nation Roll

  • Craftsbury Outdoor Center 535 Lost Nation Road Craftsbury Common, VT, 05827 United States (map)

Rollerski racing is back! Join us on July 1, 2023 for the 3rd running of the Lost Nation Roll, presented in conjunction with our friends at NENSA. Come test yourself against the region’s fastest racers on the Outdoor Center’s paved rollerski loop. Athletes can choose to race either 2 laps (just over 5km) or 4 laps (just over 10km). We are expecting a stacked field, with squads from the region’s top clubs.

The race will be a standard 30 second interval start for each distance without separation by gender.

Top 10 ranked open skiers of each gender will race on NENSA’s new fleet of Swenor Skate Long skis.

Registration:

Register for the 2023 Lost Nation Roll over at SkiReg.

Course Information:

The race will be contested on the Outdoor Center’s paved rollerski loop. The loop has a figure 8 layout, meaning that the middle portion including Dino Hill will be skied twice per “lap.”

The race course includes the challenging Dennis's Nemesis downhill once per lap. If you are not comfortable on rollerskis, this may not be the right event for you. This downhill is high speed and includes an S-turn (or chicane) at the bottom. Please arrive early enough to preview the course.

A course map is available for preview here.
