Introducing the MNC Summer 5k Run!

I am excited to announce that Saturday, July 9th will mark the first annual MNC Summer 5k Run! That’s right, we are teaming up with our partners at Skirack to host a 5k running race on some awesome trails behind Palmer’s Sugarhouse in Shelburne!

Event  details like day-of-race schedule, parking, and registration will be forthcoming. This race will be a project of the MNC Junior team who will help with trail work on the course, marking the race loop, designing posters, and helping to set-up and run the event itself.

Our first order of business, however, is to decide on a proper title for this event! I’d like to welcome any and all MNC members and fans to use the form below to submit suggestions…some concepts to keep in mind when thinking of a name:

  • this race is low-key, low-cost, and geared toward every level: first-time 5k runner to year-round competitor
  • the title would ideally include a reference to “Mansfield Nordic Club” or “MNC”
  • racing will occur on a beautiful network of trails adjacent to Palmer’s Sugarhouse on the Shelburne/Hinesburg town line
  • small prizes will be donated by Skirack to be awarded by raffle after the conclusion of the event
  • if parents and athletes are willing to pitch-in there is potential for a bake sale or BBQ element at the race

Thanks to our awesome supporter Skirack for helping to organize and run this event!
