STIHL TIMBERSPORTS: US Pro & Collegiate Championship

The STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series celebrates its 30th anniversary, and for the first time in Series history, will be going to Central Park.  

Since 1985, the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series has grown from a small, niche sport for professional lumberjacks, to a sport with global reach, featuring the fiercest lumberjack athletes in the world. Along with appearing on ABC, the sport has appeared every year on ESPN, making it the network’s longest tenured show behind only “SportsCenter.”

This season’s U.S. Championships will be part of a larger annual event in Central Park presented by the Parks Department: Adventures NYC. Selection for the Series took place earlier this month. Lumberjack athletes will qualify for the Championship by competing in one of five collegiate and four professional qualifiers.

Location: Naumburg Bandshell.  Enter the park at 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue

Events will start at 8AM and run throughout the day until 5:30 PM.
