The Pig Race
Join us for the return of…
Blueberry Hill Outdoor Center
March 16th, 2024, 11 AM
Day of Race registration starts at 10 am in the Outdoor Center. Register for the meal only too to ensure availability.
Get ready for the revival of the 'Pig Race'—a classic Nordic ski event with a legacy dating back to the 1970s, founded by Tony Clark. Our 2.5, ~7.5 and ~15km self-timed 'races' guarantee jumps, spills, singletrack challenges, agility obstacles, and maybe a touch of early spring mud. Rain or shine, snow or no, the race will go on!
Post-race there will be Pig + Pizza and a Pinyata! Indulge in wood-fired pizza and fire-roasted pig, sip on good Vermont beer, and anticipate prizes for standout vintage ski outfits, epic falls, and more! Join us in celebrating winter fun, tradition, and friendly competition at the 'Pig Race' comeback. Even if you’re not racing, join us for the Pig and Pizza!
