Killington Resort announce hot summer events lineup

Courtesy Killington Resort—Killington Resort announced its packed summer events lineup Tuesday, May 7. Mountain biking, road races, golf, archery, obstacle course racing, live music, wine... options abound!

Killington Resort is charging into summer with a loaded events lineup including golf tournaments, mountain bike competitions, food celebrations, free concerts and more.

“When the snow melts, we switch gears at The Beast and celebrate all the great things summer in Vermont has to offer,” said Mike Sutcliffe Killington Resort events manager. “We’ve got a packed agenda of family-friendly events and no shortage of on-mountain activities planned for the warmer months. New this year is the Play Forever Mountain Clean Up presented by Pepsi and we are especially excited to welcome back Alex Showerman for the Foundation Women’s Freeride Progression weekend.”

The action kicks off on Memorial Day weekend with the Total Archery Challenge at Pico Mountain and the Killington Stage Race culminating in Killington. 

Signature events include the Fox U.S. Open of Mountain Biking and the Killington Wine Festival, and the action continues all the way through October with the annual Harvest Faire during Indigenous People’s Weekend. 

All summer long, bikers will enjoy regular Bike Bum races every Wednesday afternoon beginning June 29 and the Divas of Dirt group rides every other Friday. Golfers can join the League Nights on Thursdays beginning June 13 and play in tournaments including the Killington Classic on Sept. 20. Everyone is invited to hear great live music with the return of Cooler in the Mountains, the popular free summer concert series located on the lawn at Snowshed every Saturday starting June 29. 

Killington is also proud to sponsor community events this summer including the Girls on the Run 5K in Manchester, VT on June 8, the AJGA Golf Tournament at the Green Mountain National Golf Course on June 17-20 and the Rutland Pride Festival on June 22.
