#25KinMay – Edition 4.0
May 25 - May 31
Spring and the new training season are in full swing across the East. Based on previous year’s feedback and a desire to spice up the fourth edition of this community activating event — #25KinMay will be condensed into the final week of May. Starting on May 25th we encourage you to get out and safely enjoy rollerskiing as you ease into more specific training.

History and Spirit of #25KinMay:
This is the event that gets people thinking about rolling every spring. Originally a way for the community to share activity during the pandemic, it has developed into a way to shift the paradigm of rollerski from being just a training mechanism. It’s a time to reach out to friends or connect with new ones to plan an adventure. Ever see a road that was just calling for a ski? Or maybe there is a bike path that you had always wanted to check out. We want you to challenge yourself and utilize rollerskis as a fun tool and build the social energy of our summertime programs. We love the stories we’ve shared for the past three years!
#25KinMay is free – simply get out there and report your ski to us via Social Media (or email). The event is for everyone and based primarily on participation and this year, creativity! Please add descriptors to your routes, challenges and successes.
The number one rule remains: BE SAFE out there. Skiers must select terrain suitable for their skill level.
NENSA’s mission is to provide excitement to our broader cross country skiing community and continue the momentum of NENSA’s Rollerski Programming. We look forward to unveiling our 2023 Rollerski Race Series this month and visiting clubs throughout the East this summer!
Recruit friends to join you – use #25KinMay for motivation to get rolling!
