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 roller ski training.
Individual Awards:
There will be an overall male & female champions based on their performances in both the 5K & 10K races. This is the same as the past 2 years.
We, also, will be presenting awards to the 1st male & female finishers as well as the age group winners from each race. The age groups are:
high school & younger
out of high school to 29
30-45
over 45
Team Awards:
This, too, will follow what we have done in the past. We will award a trophy and a revolving trophy to the winning high school team and the winning open team/club. Each team participating must be set and a card filled out before the start of the first race at 12 noon.
H.S. 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 girls must race in the 10K (of course, they can participate in both races, but only one will count toward the team award). The team must sign-up and decide who will count from each race before the 1st event at 12 noon.
Open Team/Club Championship: Basically, the same rules apply 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/club. This price is not available on the day of the race. Coaches - this is a great opportunity 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 you need more shirts, it will cost $6 per extra shirt.
Watch for our next posting about the sponsors.
