In person racing returns: Autumn XC series

Why should kids have all the fun?! Come join our fall XC series. Photo - Jen Forbes

We're excited to announce that we'll be hosting our first in-person racing of the pandemic! Tuesday, September 8, we kick off a 6-race cross-country running series of socially distanced, in-person racing on our trails for Craftsbury Annual Members from Vermont. Like many things during COVID, it'll look a bit different:

• Races will feature waves of 6 participants each, with 1 minute between each wave.  

• Participants will be spaced 6 feet apart on the starting line. 

• Races will be capped at 42 racers.  

• All participants must wear masks in the start/finish area, and at all times they are not racing or exercising.  

• Both the series and the races will be open to Craftsbury annual members who live in Vermont only. Remember:  our annual membership runs for 12 months from when you sign up. So, if you’re not a member right now, you can sign up right now and not only race this series, but have your skiing covered for all winter too - and lots more. 

• No day of registration this year - online only. 

• All participants must read and agree to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center Event Participant Promise on our website.

We know, this is a lot. But COVID and the health of our competitors, local community, staff and athletes are not things we're going to take lightly.
