Race Updates for MN Cup #8

Posted on February 25, 2025 by Brian Wray

As you might have guessed: several days of sun and 50-degree-F temperatures have eliminated our snowpack.

The race on March 1st will instead be a running race. Five laps as announced, with a total running distance of less than 5km (exact course is being planned), all of which will be on pavement.
