The NH Public Works Plow Rally and Backhoe Competition are back at the Mountain of Demos!
The New Hampshire Public Works Association (NHPWA) is proud to sponsor this year's NH Public Works Snow Plow Rally and Backhoe Competition, taking place at the NH Road Agents’ Mountain of Demos at Mount Sunapee on May 22, 2025, starting at 9:00 AM and running until completion.
Competition Details:
- Plow Rally: Two-person team obstacle course featuring a written exam as well as forward and reverse slalom, alley dock backing, roadside obstructions, and a mid-course driver switch.
- Backhoe Competition: New challenges may be introduced this year, and a written driver exam may be administered.
Important Registration Information:
- Pre-registration is required for both competitions.
- Plow Rally teams must prioritize a Team A (primary team) in case space is limited.
- Registration is first-come, first-served—early registration is strongly recommended to secure a spot.
- Registration deadline: May 19, 2025 at 10:00 AM.
- No late or day-of registrations will be accepted.
- The direct competition area will be restricted to registered participants only.
Participant Requirements:
- High-visibility PPE (vest, t-shirt, etc.) must be worn on the course.
- All participants must also be registered for the NH Road Agents’ Mountain of Demos event to be onsite: [REGISTER HERE]
- Food and beverage will not be provided by NHPWA. (The NH Road Agents may offer food and beverages for Mountain of Demos attendees.)
Opportunity to Represent NH at APWA Events:
The top winning team in each competition will earn the NH champion title and will have the option (at their own expense) to compete at APWA Regional or National Plow Rally and Backhoe events in 2025. Participation beyond the NH event is not sponsored or funded by NHPWA—winners who wish to continue must arrange and fund their own travel and registration.
