Winter Wild is an uphill series with a twist, the finish is at the bottom so you get to come back down too. Grab your skis, grab your snowshoes, or just grab your favorite winter running shoes and join us for some winter fun. Do you like first tracks? Most events take place at a public ski area and you get to hit slopes before they open to the public. What's not to like about that!
NH’s Governor’s Council on Physical Activity and Health annually recognizes individuals and organizations in the state of New Hampshire that have significantly contributed toward healthy lifestyles. Winter Wild is a 2010 recipient of this distinguished award.
We have partnered with the Let's Move Campaign in offering all of the Winter Wild events for FREE to schooled children in our region.
The CHALLENGE: The school district with the most percentage participation in any combination of the 8 Winter Wild events in 2013 will receive a $5000 donation for their PTO courtesy of Lake Sunapee Bank , the Children's Fund of the Upper Valley and The Byrne Foundation.
All Races begin @ 7am (except for Mt. Sunapee (6:30am start) and Bretton Woods (6:30am start) at the base of each mountain.) Click a link above for more information.
