In a typical year, we’d be inviting you all to the first rollerski race of the year. This year, it will in fact be the second after our snow-less February race.

Preference to somebody who is interested in buying all four. Buyer pays FFL shipping.
MN Cup #6 – Results
Thanks to all that attended our no-snow race! It’s likely been close to twenty years since we’ve had an official running biathlon at Elk River, and likely never before in February, so you were part of something truly unique!
Full results are attached to this post. Photo set will arrive in a few days.

MN Cup #6 – Final Update
After assessing the conditions at Woodland Trails, we have decided the race tomorrow (February 25th) will be a running race. There clearly not enough snow to ski – indeed, the ski trails are closed – but too much snow and ice still on trails to safely rollerski the entire course.
The race distance will be five laps of an approximately 1km loop, on pavement, with an interval (time-trial) start. Younger athletes can run a shorter race.
