Thanks to all the volunteers - without your help, this race wouldn't
have happened.
Thanks to all the 160 skiers who trusted us to provide a great trail and
a great race, even as the weather leading up to the race had you
wondering if we'd have any snow.
And thanks to all you skiers who completed your very first race:
Congratulations on your accomplishment! We hope you got the race bug and
will join those of us who love to race in future events! |

Food and Frosty Beverages
Lunch will be provided for all
racers. Non-racers may buy lunch for a nominal fee. A
frosty beer
or two may be purchased from the Metropark at the XC Ski Center counter.
What happens if it's not Frosty?
This is southeast Michigan and snow is not always reliable. If January 16
is not frosty enough for a race, the event will be moved to Sunday, January 31.
If there still not enough snow on that date, we'll hold a running race.
Be assured, we have several frosty tricks up our sleeves to ensure we
have snow on the course!
Profits
Proceeds from the race will be donated to the Huron Clinton Metroparks for cross country skiing-related capital or
operational expenses. Let's thank the Metroparks for the awesome job they have done promoting cross country skiing at Huron Meadows!
