Race Updates for MN Cup #8
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.
Minnesota Cup #6 – Mt. Itasca CANCELED
Join us at Mt. Itasca on Sunday, January 19th, for the 6th race in the Minnesota Cup series.
Event flyer, with sign-up link, attached to this post below.
This even has been canceled due to forecasted temperatures well below what’s acceptable for racing.
Midwest Regional Races 3/4
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.
