STRIDE’S GREAT RACE CELEBRATES ITS 18TH YEAR!
STRIDE’s Great Race / Diana Golden Mills Cup Level I Adaptive Race is a competitive event for nearly 100 disabled ski racers from across the Northeast. An inspiring day of individual victories and monumental successes realized on the race course at Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in Hancock, MA, the event is open to all adaptive skiers of any age, skill level, or disability. The event is designed to introduce adaptive skiers to the thrill and excitement of racing in a safe, and essentially low-competitive format. Each racer is times during both runs through a giant slalom course set on beginner terrain and special awards are given to the top three finishers in each category.
