Boot Run

dashes-2

Ransack your closet for a relic from yesteryear or bust out your newbies and buckle up for the first annual Eddie Bauer ski Boot Run. Without the encumbrance of skis, boot-clad runners must navigate a minefield of obstacles, including ice, hay bales, tires and a backwards march in this awkward dash for unmitigated glory.  All ages are welcome in one Boot Leggers Division where après skiers slip and slide their way to victory. Hard-shell boots are required and rear-entry are highly encouraged.
