NATIONAL MASTERS 2010 CROSS-COUNTRY SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS
CRAFTSBURY OUTDOOR CENTER
CRAFTSBURY COMMON, VERMONT
Craftsbury is proud to host the 2010 National Masters Championships (NM2010) - three days of events and skiing for citizen skiers 25 and old (though a great race week for 20-24 year olds as well). On Thursday, January 28 the NM2010 will kick off with 10km freestyle interval start race. Friday, January 29 offers a fun opportunity - the Onion River Sports Dash for Cash sprint event. Definitely worth participating in, even though it's not a qualifier for NM2010.
Racing will culminate Saturday morning in the NM2010 finale with the TDBank Craftsbury Ski Marathon. Register online for the Masters 10K and/or Marathon.
