Baxter Winter Triathlon

Last Updated: 26.Jan.2017

This past weekend, the Baxter Winter Triathlon returned to Craftsbury for the third consecutive year. The legs were switched this year from a 5k each of run, snowshoe, and ski to a 5k each of run, fat bike, and ski. Everyone seemed to really enjoy the fat biking replacement. It made everything a bit more exciting too, as some had to push their bikes for a good amount of the distance. By next year the Center is hoping to have fat tire bike rentals and demos for all to try!

There were three different race options: 5k solo race (just the run portion), 15k solo race (all three legs), and 15k team event. Chris Schaffer took home the win in the 5k solo race male division and Erin Magoon was the winner in the female division. In the 15k solo race, Lou Bregou was the male champion and Tracy Sherbook was the female champion. Team "Crazy Goats" claimed the team win with Ellen Finnie completing the run portion, Frank Muller on the bike, and Kate Fox racing the ski leg.

We enjoyed having everyone here for the event and are looking forward to another one in the future!
