The start will be at 11 AM instead of 10 AM. The lollipop race is cancelled.

The Bogburn Classic also has BKL races starting at 10 AM. See Ski Reg for schedule. If conditions are not so good, the event will be held at the Woodstock Inn and Touring Center. Stay up-to-date on conditions with the Bogburn Facebook page.

There are races each day (first day relay, second day individual) and a whole lot more- face painting, animal trail in the woods, a family mini-marathon, a terrain park, 8th grade graduation, and an opening parade. Kids who don’t want to race can register for the Nordic Adventure and do all the other activities. We’ll have a team of coaches on hand to help with wax and we’ll get a potluck going for lunches.
