Haunted Hillside Relay Race returns for its 4th year in Killington

Submitted Three skeleton bikers tear through the graveyard, setting the stage for Killington's Haunted Hillside Relay Race.

Saturday, Oct. 19, from noon to 5 p.m—KILLINGTON—Prepare for a spooky, adrenaline-pumping afternoon as the Killington Mountain Bike Club (KMBC) hosts its annual Haunted Hillside Relay Race on Saturday afternoon at Killington Base Camp. This event promises a fun-filled day of bikes, brews, and BOOs as riders compete in teams of three in a relay-style race.

The race course will take riders from the TBR trail to the Upper Base Camp loop, testing their speed and endurance. But it’s not just about who can cross the finish line fastest; creativity counts, too. Awarded prizes include the fastest team, best team costume, and best individual costume, so participants are encouraged to show off their biking skills and Halloween spirit.

Following the race, a base camp after-party offers racers and spectators a chance to relax and celebrate. Registration for the event is $90 per team, and each team registration includes entry to both the race and the after-party.

All proceeds from the event will go towards the KMBC network, helping to build and maintain the trails that have become a favorite for mountain bikers in the region. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or love the festive spirit of Halloween, this event is a great way to support a local cause while having a blast.
