Pursuing excellence in the heart of the Green Mountains

Our purpose

The Craftsbury Green Racing Project fills the gap that exists after collegiate athletics and before international competition for the outdoor, endurance sports of biathlon, nordic skiing, running, and rowing.

Our vision

The Craftsbury Green Racing Project will blend the uncompromising ideals of peak athletic performance with the conscientious values of being part of a larger community and cause. Craftsbury Green Racing Project athletes will be some of the best athletes in the world who also understand their impact in both the community around them and their physical environment.

Our mission

The Craftsbury Green Racing Project is a year-round, multi-sport team at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center that provides athletes with a balance between top tier training and a supportive community. Members of the Green Racing Project work to reach their fullest potential in their respective sport, develop as members of a sustainable community, and uphold the mission of the Craftsbury Outdoor Center.
