Stowe Derby

Celebrating 81 years in 2026, the Stowe Derby is one of the oldest and most unique ski races in North America. The tradition of the Stowe Derby will once again bring together generations of families from all over to take part in the challenging 20 kilometer cross-country ski course throughout Stowe. This race has provided lasting memories to participants as they ski down Mount Mansfield’s Toll Road and along the Stowe Recreation Path before reaching the finish in the Stowe village. The course has a total vertical drop of almost 2,700 feet. With one of the largest and most diverse trail systems in the United States, Stowe ranks as one of the top cross-country skiing destinations on the East Coast, including over 3,000 acres of conserved land. This event now includes Fat Bike Racers too.
