November 3, 2025 - The Drive for 25 (D25) is just around the corner and begins on November 24. It is especially important to continue the momentum of American athlete participation this year with the 2026 Olympics ahead. Mark your calendars and support our athletes.

Over the past few years, Drive for 25 was the most successful fundraising we’ve seen in our twenty-plus year history and we look forward to another year of pushing together towards an excellent season and a bright future for US Cross-Country skiing.

Goal: 1,000 Individual Donors
Goal: Raise $100,000

“I am inspired by the idea that we all have the capacity to improve at anything we want as long as we are able to figure out what factors have to be adjusted and changed. I am very lucky to have reached a level of skiing where improvement is challenging to see, which is a lot of why I am so drawn to it still. It is a very fulfilling and motivating challenge that I hope will produce a better version of myself.

My main goal this year is simply to improve. I want to consistently feel that I am skiing at a deeper level and that I am able to extract a higher relative performance from myself in every race I compete in. Specifically, I want to go back to the Olympics this year and attempt to be a part of a relay medal with the men’s team. I would like to be skiing in the top 20 in both sprint and distance at the World Cup and that I am generally continuing to improve!” – Luke Jager
