This Enduro format event consists of multiple timed sections along a marked 15 km course (4 sections) or 10 km course (3 sections). Interval wave starts will launch at 10:00 am with skiers in the 15 km race starting first. Between each timed section, skiers can take a break, get some food, or ski straight on to the next section. The course map will be made available on race day, but the timed sections will only be discovered once out on the course. The course will make use of all types of excellent terrain available throughout the Stowe Mountain Resort Cross Country trail network. Participants will wear bibs and carry time cards that will be used for scoring each timed section. It is the responsibility of the athlete to return their time cards upon completion where times will be totalled and results & prizes determined…note that prizes are not all based on fastest times….
