Craftsbury Scramble event

Presented By: The Craftsbury Outdoor Center

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.

Racers are encouraged to find a buddy and sign up as a team. Individuals looking for a teammate may sign up as a solo team, and organizers will pair you with someone once registration closes. 

The Craftsbury Scramble is part of the NENSA Club Cup series.
