Kait Miller · May 31, 2022 ·

NENSA and The Maine Outdoor Wellness Center are thrilled to host the 4th annual Roy-llerski and fundraiser this year during the month of July 2022. The event, originally created by Jenny Wilbraham, was created in memory of Roy Varney to bring together the nordic community for support and to enjoy the sport they all shared.

This year, the event will have both virtual and in-person options, we encourage anyone that can participate with a group and make the most of it! Using the date of Roy’s passing (7/1/19), the challenge is to ski, run, or ride 71.19km OR for 71:19 (1h:11m:19s), spread over a couple of days,  weeks, or the entire month if need be. If you are in the Turner (ME) area, you can reach out to Dustin Williamson (dustin.williamson@msad52.org), Tash Varney (nvarney207@gmail.com), and Jenny Wilbraham (jenwilb.ski@gmail.com) about in-person offerings. Folks can also reach out via the Maine Outdoor Wellness Center instagram HERE. 

There is a $10 entry fee that will be donated to Maine Outdoor Wellness Center.
