The 31st annual U.S. National Toboggan Championships (Feb. 5-7, 2021) has been postponed to Feb. 11-13, 2022. The Toboggan National organizing committee had been meeting over the past three months, formulating a plan to hold the event safely before coming to today's difficult decision.
"We had developed a plan to run half the number of teams, with 25 percent of the number of racers and no spectators," said Committee Co-Chairman Stuart Young, in a news release.
"And while we felt these numbers would be manageable in terms of adhering to Maine's COVID-19 mandates, the rise and continued high numbers of infections makes it impossible to assure a safe event," said Co-Chairman Holly Anderson.
