Papoose Club's Quigley Cup this Sunday

Papoose Club will hold its annual Quigley Cup cross-country ski event on Sunday, February 26. This fun, free event features races in both skate and classic disciplines for kids ages 3-13, as well as an obstacle course. Quigley Cup will be held at Quigley Nordic Center, located at the end of Fox Acres Roads in Hailey. Registration will be held from 10:00 - 10:30am and the races begin at 11:00. Sturtevants Mountain Outfitters in Hailey is offering a $6 equipment rental to kids who participate in Quigley Cup.

Quigley Cup is a free community service event put on by Papoose Club, in partnership with staff from the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s Nordic ski program and the Blaine County Recreation District.The event was introduced in 2007 as a cross-country skiing complement to Papoose Club’s long-standing downhill races for kids—the Kindercup.

“Quigley Cup is a fun, low-key event that brings out a lot of local families,” says Tizz Miller, this year’s Quigley Cup chair. “Our members love planning this event, and it’s great seeing so many kids out there on skinny skis.”

Papoose Club was founded in 1954 by a group of local mothers and was incorporated as a non-profit in 1975. The organization’s mission is to support local youth-oriented groups through fundraising activities and events in the Wood River Valley. The club provides important financial support to local organizations that serve children and makes it possible for kids of the Wood River Valley to grow up with access to a wide variety of activities.
