The Craftsbury Outdoor Center is excited to present Fall Fest 2019, coming to Craftsbury this October 5th and 6th. Mark your calendars now, and join us for a weekend of delicious food, fun races, and spectacular foliage. With a wide variety of family friendly activities, there's bound to be something for everyone. Come on up and join us to celebrate fall in the NEK!
Singletrack Shootout: On Saturday, the 5th of October, the weekend will kick off at 10 am with the Singletrack Shootout, a mountain biking or running biathlon race featuring the Center's singletrack trails. Novices and experts, kids and adults are all welcome; novices will have ammo and rifles provided and a shooting clinic will precede the novice race.
Farmer Games: Also on Saturday, the 5th, at 3pm, Craftsbury will hold its first ever Fall Fest Farmer Games. The Farmer Games is a 4-person team event with four individual disciplines and one team relay. The event as a whole playfully explores the intersection between sport and the agricultural community. All necessary materials and equipment will be provided, and there will be no entry fee this year.
Harvest Dinner: Saturday night, starting at 5:30 pm, the COC will host an autumn-themed Harvest Dinner. The annual dinner features delicious local fare from area farmers, all prepared by the Center's Vermont Fresh Network dining hall team.
Orienteering Race: On Sunday, the 6th of October at 9 am, we're excited to host a summer Orienteering Race on the Center's ski trails and singletrack. A beginner's clinic will precede the mass start event, so all are welcome, even those who have never participated in orienteering before. There will be a short course and a long course version.
Community Open House: On Sunday afternoon between 1-4 pm, the Center will host our third annual Community Open House. This year's open house will feature clinics in mountain biking, the chance to try out biathlon, opportunities for cider pressing, and free 45 minute mountain bike rentals. At 2:00 pm at the waterfront, boaters will gather for the inaugural Friends of Great Hosmer Paddling Event, which will include canoe, kayak, and SUP races and tours.
