We’re looking forward to a FUN first race of the season tomorrow at Craftsbury. It’s a skate race. Link to race flyer with all the race info.
Please note**** All races will start 15 minutes later than shown below. There are morning biathlon races at Craftsbury and those races need a little extra time.
1:00 PM – Lollipop (Kindergarten/pre-K) ~.5km (classic)
1:15 PM – Grades 1/2 ~1km
1:45 PM – Grades 3/4 ~2km
2:15 PM – Grades 5/6 ~3km
2:45 PM – Grades 7/8 ~4k
Plan to arrive at least an hour before the race. This will give time to pick up your bib and get settled. I will be there to help kids warm up and we have a couple other coaches that will preview the course with age groups. If you would like to preview the course, meet at the start line 45 minutes before your race.
Race Course: We will have course maps available at registration and everything will be marked with stakes and colored arrows. If you were at the BKL Fest last year the courses are very similar and go out in the direction of Murphys Field and Duck Pond.
Volunteers: We are still looking to fill a bunch of volunteer jobs – if you are going to be around please volunteer. The most important jobs that still need volunteers are Course Marking Change Over and Start Finish Line Helpers. Sign Up Sheet
Skis: Forecast is for about 30 degrees tomorrow afternoon. Hot Wax with a warm glide wax like TOKO Yellow (you can also add on a couple drips of toko red), then scrape and brush.This makes them faster and glide better. If you don’t have time, equipment or know-how, don’t worry- It will just be good to get your child out there skiing!
Cookies: I’m bringing cookies and rice krispy treats for the end of the race. Feel free to bring some to add to the cookie table. But I know this is last minute, so don’t worry if you don’t have time.
If you have questions, feel free to shoot me an email or text!
