Please keep checking back - with the current weather and deterioratig snow conditions we will not know the final status for Sunday untill probably Saturday evening.

If plans have to be changed - one consideration is to hold 2 5K races - classic, then skate ( 10K for any Open/citizen)

If this were to happen we would probably delay the start to 11:00am to allow for grooming time.

Race start will be at 9am.
