Bolton, VT – Vermont’s Bolton Valley ski resort east of Burlington will once again host the Bolton Valley Snowshoe Shuffle, a 5K walk or run on snowshoes to benefit the American Lung Association, on Saturday, Feb. 11. The event will be held on a specially designed course at the Bolton Valley Nordic Center and will include several hills and groomed trails as well as powder sections and single track. All abilities are welcome, from those who have never been on snowshoes to seasoned racers.

Fundraising efforts support the American Lung Association’s mission to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.

Directly following the event, awards will be presented to the top three male and female runners as well as the top three individual fundraisers and top three fundraising teams. All walkers and runners will be entered into a drawing for prizes from a variety of sponsors.  After the awards ceremony, participants and family members can swim at the Sports Center’s indoor pool at a discounted rate ($5 for adults, free for children under 6).

Pre-registration for the event costs $35 and includes a fleece hat while supplies last; day-of registration is $40. Both individuals and teams are encouraged to participate and raise additional money for the American Lung Association. All participants who raise an additional $100 will receive a free Bolton Valley lift ticket for skiing in the afternoon after the event.
