The Craftsbury Outdoor Center is excited to host the 36th Annual Craftsbury Marathon. This classic New England ski marathon starts and finishes at the Craftsbury outdoor Center winding through open fields and wooded hillsides, showcasing quintessential Vermont countryside. New for 2017 is a 16.5km (1 lap) option for those just trying a marathon for the first time, a 33k (2 lap) middle distance and a 50km (3 lap) race for returning marathoners who are ready to go the distance. Each gender has its own mass start wave. The course will likely be a 16.5k loop that starts and finishes at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center and features challenging climbs, exciting descents, and rolling trails that showcase the best that New England skiing has to offer. For BKL racers we also have a single-loop tour option. We will also continue to host the 16.5k high school race distance in 2017. Feed stations dot the route every 4 to 7 kilometers. After the finish, all participants are treated to a hearty post race meal, awards, and raffle. The top racer in each 5 year age/gender/distance class is awarded a locally handcrafted pottery bowl.
