January 16, 2022, Craftsbury Scramble
Come race the mid-January cobwebs out at the first annual Craftsbury Scramble, a freestyle team sprint for all ages. A team sprint is a two-person relay in which the first team member races around a short course, tags off to the second team member, who races around the same course and tags back to the first team member again, repeating until each team member has skied three times. The Craftsbury Scramble will have a few twists: (1) there will be bumps, slaloms, and other obstacles on course, and (2) there will be a breakfast-themed post-race brunch! The event is a fundraiser for the Kathy Wright Memorial Scholarship Fund, which helps offset racing and programming costs for members of the Craftsbury Ski Club. Racers can also expect cookies, a raffle from the ski club's legendary prize box, and a good time all around. https://www.craftsbury.com/events/22scramble

September Events
September is Vermont's Official River Cleanup Month
https://watershedsunitedvt.org/vermont-river-cleanup
September 10, 2022, Woodsplitter MTB Challenge
At 7 AM – 3 PM - The ultimate 6hr event at the home of the Spartan Founder. Our race’s diabolical origins date back to the 666 race eight years ago, which featured a short, but brutal, six-mile loop ridden for six hours up steep skidder roads and through our budding trail system, barely recognizable to what it’s grown into now. The other six may have stood for the beast that we roasted over a pit for the post-race feast. Our trail offerings have quadrupled since then, and the contest has also morphed to take advantage of the boon, but we still retain the same wild spirit of that first race. A portion of the income from the race will benefit the stewardship and growth of the Green Mountain Trails. https://www.facebook.com/events/3431034653688368/

The 5K/10K portion of this race will be an out-and-back along Harbor Road - a quiet back country road. The 5K is relatively flat.
