A few things about tomorrow:

7 PM Start Time!

Registration will start at 6 and end 15 mins before start. (Or you can register online)

To be eligible for junior prizing, both skiers must be under the age of 15.

WAXING PROTOCOL: No Fluorinated Gliders please. We can't tell but it would be great to have people on an approximately level waxing field.

Sit ski course (clockwise):

Sit skiers do a shorter course because they only get to use their upper bodies which isn't typically as fast, but will participate in the same race (there can be sit-skier/standing-skier teams for the team sprint).

Course map for Tuesday on top, Finish area map on the bottom. Course runs counter clockwise.
Format is 2x3x1km. (2 people, 3 laps each, 1km course). 

Registration is up!

4 1/2 hours to race time. Goldbar was groomed yesterday, so with the fresh snow conditions should be pretty good.

Race is on for next week at Goldbar!
7:30 pm start time
9km classic (all the Goldbar trails)

Hi!
We're going to have to postpone tonight's race. I'm in Quebec and there's not much info out there about the race. Also, there's been quite a bit of racing recently around town and elsewhere.

Definitive cancellation: it is -21 with no windchill and -26 with. Unfortunately a bit too cold to race!

Looking like a cold day tomorrow. We may be forced to cancel if it's below -20. :( Look for updates tomorrow.

Correction: Wednesday's race
February 5th.
For some reason it felt like Tuesday today.

Tomorrow's race is at GOLDBAR.

Too icy at the range, conditions much better at Goldbar.

7:30pm start Skate Team Sprint.

So the City of St. Albert removed the snow on a large portion of Liberton Hill! This means that we can't have a race there next week-so there will be another location change.

February 5th
Possibly Strathcona Science Park (depends on snow-we lost a lot), possibly Goldbar.
Skate team sprint. (Two person relay)
7:30 pm mass start start.

Because of this we will have the February 19th race at the Upper Riverlot in St. Albert. It will be a classic 8km individual start. More details to follow.

Results from last night:

Race is on for tonight. Trails were pretty decent last night, hope to see some folks out!

Race next week is moved to Goldbar!

January 22nd
5km Skate Mass Start
Goldbar Park
7:30 pm start

Because of the unprecedented warm temperatures, we are moving the race to Goldbar in order to preserve the snow at the range for the Calforax Cup on the weekend.

Hope to see some people out!

An hour and a half until race time. Looking like klister for grip.

One week until the next Wednesday race: January 15th Goldbar Park Classic relay 3 x 3km 7:30 pm start Come as a team or without one, we'll make sure everyone can race (even if some race twice) 5$/person 15$/team Registration opens at 6:30. See everyone out there!
