Duathlon 2017!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the MNC Duathlon this past Sunday! This event has become a huge part of the NENSA calendar and we were excited to welcome skiers of all ages and from all over the area. 131 competitors took to the snow on a warm spring-like day to contest a joint classic/freestyle race. Here are some photos and results, with a full photo album from Dave Priganc linked at the bottom.

Thanks to all the organizers, the timers, the volunteers, and the Craftsbury Outdoor Center!
