Fun Race #1 Glow Race

November 7, 2023 by Kelsi Johnson

We’re crossing our fingers and doing a snow dance for just a bit more snow for the season’s first fun race!  This race will take place on 11/17 at Creamer’s Field (weather permitting).  Check-in starts at 6pm with the race starting at 7pm.  We are offering a 3 mile individual distance and a 3×1 mile relay race.  Cost is $15 for the 3 mile individual and $25 for a 3×1 mile relay team (cash or check please.)  Wear your brightest gear, lights (this is a great time to pull out those Noxgear products) and headlamps to light the night for this very special Glow Race!  Treats for all participants and everyone gets entered for prizes!

Beginning of the 2023-24 skijoring season: October events!

October 4, 2023 by Kelsi Johnson

Edit 10/6/23: With the recent snowfall the Glow race at Birch Hill will be cancelled as they are transitioning to ski-only. The beginner clinics will continue as scheduled! Thank you for your understanding.

It’s that time of the year again to prepare for snow and the skijoring season! We have some exciting events happening in October “before the snow flies.”

First off is a dryland race on 10/13/23 at Birch Hill warming hut: registration starts at 6pm with the race starting at 7pm. This “glow” themed race for running or walking your dogs has 2 available distances: a 5k or a relay made up of 3×1 mile loops (bring a friend.) Cost is $15 for the 5k or $25 (cash or check) for the relay team. The Birch Hill stadium lights will not be on so wear a headlamp, flashing lights, noxgear vests or bright colored clothing! Minors are welcome but are required to have a parent present to sign the waiver! Treats will be provided after the run for all participants!

We will also have 2 dryland beginner’s clinics this year for anyone who is curious about skijoring and would like to know where to start. The first date available is 10/8/23 and the second date is 10/28/23. These will take place at Musher’s Hall at 1pm. Cost is $20 per person (cash or check.)
