For the BKL Duathlon Race at Craftsbury on Sunday: Register on Ski Reg by Friday night, or Day of Race registration is available for an increased fee.

Wax Tip: See wax tip posted.

Kick Waxing: Rick Costanza will be under the MNC tent on the lower soccer field. Bring your classic skis there to get help with grip wax. *Throw in your no-wax if you have them, waxing could be tricky.

Previewing the Course: Rosemary will be busy timing the races but Coaches Eden, Emilie, & Tom will be there to help you preview the course and Coach Luke & Brad Carlson will be in the transition zone to help you set up your skate skis.

What time to arrive: Arrive at noon, so you have plenty of time to register, preview the course, get your skis waxed and your skate skis set before your race. Older kids arrive by 12:30.

Don’t forget to Bring Cookies or Snacks to share after the race!

Stowe Nordic Enduro, BKL & Citizens

By Rosemary Shea-Cobb on 1 January, 2017 in

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….
