7th Annual 5K Turkey Trot Trail Run/Walk

Friday, November 23, 2018

11:00am 5KM

Register on-line OR e-mail the race director info@straffordnordicskiing.com.

Our annual Trail Race goes up hills, across valleys and through the woods of our ski trails. We usually offer a challenging course with great scenery. Our race is super fun and very low key, with Strafford Organic Creamery Milk and home made cookies for all participants after the race.

Should we get snow for race day, we may end up with a ski and snowshoe race.  We will contact those registered in advance should the conditions warrant changing from a run/walk event.

 

Thanks to everyone who came out to ski! Conditions were fantastic!!!

Biathlon is one of the most challenging winter sports.  If you have ever wanted to try it, now is the time. Come to one of our clinics to learn about the sport.

During our clinics, we will start with basic gun and range safety, followed by shooting practice.  Then, anyone who wants to try it, we will go for a ski on the penalty loop- a short lap – then come in and shoot, then ski the loop again, then shoot again.  Challenge yourself to see how well you can shoot when your heart rate is high from skiing!

Space is limited, and pre-registration is required via e-mail or by calling the lodge 802-765-4309.  If space is available, we will accept drop-ins.

The clinic is $20, in addition to your trail pass or rentals, to help cover the cost of rifle maintenance and ammunition.  Clinics will begin at 1pm. Sign in at the lodge, we’ll meet there or on the range, depending on weather conditions.

Clinics dates for this season:

December 30, 2018

2019 Dates:

January 6, 20

February 3, 10, 24

Get in some great skiing and drink craft beer when you need a break! Stop mid-trail to sample some local brews at our tasting stations, then finish up in the lodge with a full pour of your favorite in a souvenir beer glass.

Check in at the lodge. Tasting stations are strategically placed so that beginner skiers can get to them. They are relatively close to the lodge, but skiers are encouraged to also go for a longer ski.

Growlers will also be available to take home in the lodge.
