Approx 18KM course for all standards and styles.

START TIME AND COURSE:

Pre-Race briefing - 9:45

Event Start Time is 10am for Classic and 10:15am for Freestyle.

Starting and finishing at the Nordic Shelter, the Course will be determined prior to the event and could be anywhere in the local area that will provide an interesting ski experience. Snow cover, snow conditions and weather will all be taken into consideration. A classic track and freestyle track will be set.

Freestyle skiers will start 15 minutes after the Classic skiers. Any skier who starts with the Classic group and is observed skating will be disqualified.

This is a tour race so there is no calling of "Track" - please go around slower skiers.

SAFETY:

Sustain your fluid intake and wear adequate clothing. The course will be patrolled by skidoo and swept by skiers. Please note that the course does not follow the regular groomed trails and snow conditions can range from ice, deep snow or slush. Natural hazards include rocks, bare patches and vegetation. Other skiers also use the trails. Skiers must ensure that they ski in control at all times to minmise risk of collisions and injury. In sunny weather use sunscreen, sunglasses and carry sufficient water. If the weather deteriorates, ski together and help each other as much as possible. If you come across another entrant in difficulty or distress, assist and/or report to the nearest official on skidoo or at a first aid/drink station, giving bib number, problem outline and location.

Bibs/transponders will be accounted for at the Finish and a missing bib/transponder may initiate a search at your expense.
