Camden Toboggan Competition Postponed Tuesday, December 22, 2020 1:41 PM The 31st annual U.S. National Toboggan Championships, scheduled to be held the first weekend of February, has been postponed to 2022 out of an abundance of caution during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For 30 years, the championships have overcome a variety of hurdles: one year, a blizzard enveloped New England in whiteout conditions, forcing the event to condense to a single day of racing. In other years, racers endured gale-force winds and pouring rain.
In a news release, committee co-chairs Stuart Young and Holly Anderson stated, “We had developed a plan to run half the number of teams, with 25% of the number of racers and no spectators. We felt we could adhere to Maine’s COVID-19 mandates with reduced capacity, but the rise of infections has made it impossible to ensure a safe event.”
