The Mansfield Nordic Community Center (MNCC) is our club’s resource for strength training, events, meetings, and more! But how do you get there, and where do you park? Read More about “Parking at the MNCC”…
Join MNC for a race trip to the popular Climb to the Castle rollerski race in beautiful Lake Placid, NY! It might not be the traditional way to climb a mountain, but this is one way to tackle an Adirondack 46’er!
The race begins early in the morning on Sunday, September 24th. For this event, MNC will offer a race trip that departs the day prior to make a mini training camp out of the weekend.
We will depart from the Buffalo Wild Wings/Price Chopper parking lot at 1pm on Saturday the 23rd. Once in Lake Placid, we’ll go for a rollerski on the scenic River Road near the ski jumps. We’ll then make ourselves at home at the High Peaks Basecamp Lodge right in the heart of town. We’ll have a study-hall period for schoolwork, and a session in the yoga studio at the neighboring High Peaks Cyclery. With a large kitchen in the house, we’ll make a team dinner and get ready to race the next day!
On race day we’ll have the luxury of waking up at a normal hour (vs the earliest ferry from VT) and making a hearty breakfast before competing in the race. After the event, we’ll have lunch in town and go for a trail run or mountain bike ride on some nearby trails before heading back to VT.
Registration for this trip includes lodging, meals, transportation, and support at our 2 training sessions outside the race.
