Midwest Regional Races 3/4

Posted on by

Attached is the event flyer for the Midwest regional races on January 4th and 5th.

This event has been moved to Mount Itasca, see newer post for flyer and sign-up form.

Originally scheduled for Elk River, this event has a high probability of being held instead at Mount Itasca due to low snow conditions at Woodland Trails. Updates will be published as decisions are made.
