Kingston Races, Awards and Costs

The Races
People can register for the 5k &/or the 10k race(s). However, if you sign-up for the novice race, that's the only race in which you may participate. The novice race is for people who are just beginning their rollerski training.

Individual Awards
There will be an overall male & female champion based on their performance in both the 5k and 10k races. This is the same as last year.

We will presenting awards to the 1st place male and female skiers in each of the 3 races as we have done every year.

In response to suggestions made over the years, new to this year, there will awards to the male & female age group winners in the 5k and 10k races. The age groups will be:
high school & younger
out of high school to 29
30 - 45
over 45

The awards are still to be determined. They may be medals as we did last year. They may be special prizes supplied by our sponsors. Or, they may be first selection from the prize table.

Team Awards
This will follow last year's model. We will be awarding a trophy and a revolving trophy to the winning high school team and the winning open club/team. Each team participating must be set and a card filled out before the start of the first race at 12 noon.

High School Team Championship - A high school team will consist of 4 skiers - 2 guys and 2 girls. One guy and one girl must race in the 5k and the other guy and girl must race in the 10k (of course, they are allowed to participate in both races, but only one race will count toward the team award). The team must sign-up and decide who will count for each race before the first event at 12 noon.

Open Club Championship - Basically the same rules as above except a club needs only one woman skier.

Special Team Pricing
The cost of the race is $15 for one race and $20 for two races. However, a team or club that preregisters as a group at the same time, in the same envelope, will pay a maximum of $100 for the entire team or club. Coaches - this is an great way to bring your entire team for a very reasonable price. There is one drawback. We can supply only 10 t-shirts to a team for this special pricing. If a team needs more than 10 shirts, it will cost $6 per extra shirt.

Watch for our next posting about the sponsors.

Applications will be mailed out to previous skiers and coaches in the next week.
