The Pig Race is the infamous end of season race at Blueberry Hill in Goshen, VT. It is a very fun event!
Here are some details about the event. We can’t wait!
- Day of Race registration and check in will be in the Outdoor Center starting at 10 am. This will be your zone for leaving belongings, bathrooms, etc.,
- The 2km kids race will start at 11, and everyone else at ~11:30. The Pig Race is self-timed. We’ll have a big timing clock if you don’t have a watch, and also make Strava segments for the competitive types. You’ll write your name and time down right when you cross the finish line.
- We’ll serve pizza n’ pig around 1pm-~3pm.
- A map of the short course and long course can be found at these links. The course will be well marked with pink flagging tape and signs at intersections.
- This will be good old-fashioned VT spring skiing! Expect water bars and muddy sections. Don’t bring your best (or second best, or third best) skis–old fish scales are your best bet, or wooden skis with pine tar. Feel free to hike/run the course as well if you prefer, or take skis off for sections! All obstacles except some water bars will be optional 🙂 The Pig Race is about embracing whatever winter throws at us, and acknowledging that we don’t need perfect conditions to enjoy all that VT has to offer. There are some pics of current conditions on our Instagram.
- We will have Red Clover Ale Company beer for sale. Please bring cash or card and an ID if you plan on purchasing.
- We still have some meal tickets available for friends and family. To make sure you get one, you can pre-order on Skireg. We’ll have some for sale day of as well.
- Costumes encouraged!
