Skijor Skowhegan is Maine's first, and longest-running equestrian skijoring competition. In this team time-trial race, a horse and rider pull a snowboarder or alpine skier down a 1,000-foot track of gates and jumps. Competitors compete for cash prizes, swag, and bragging rights!Gates: 10 a.m.
First race: 11 a.m.
The Grandstands where spectators can sit are aluminum, we recommend you bring something to sit on to be more comfortable. This is Maine in the dead of winter, so dress warmly! We've had events with beautiful 50-degree days, and we've had freezing temps and snow. Plus, it can all change from morning to afternoon.

- For everyone's safety, please do not enter the competitor parking area unless you are with a competitor.
