We have a link for parent volunteers to sign up for the race if they can help. I have created a morning and afternoon sign-up so someone doesn’t have to commit their whole day.
online registration officially closes on Friday February 7th, but we would appreciate people signing up as soon as possible to get a more accurate head count.

BK This Week, Pics and Results

By Adam Terko on 3 February, 2014 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog

Tuesday 2/4 BK at the range – classic skiing with short relays to practice proper tagging for the BK Festival. Please bring classic skis cleaned or prepped with the hard wax of the day. Most likely SWIX VR45/ Blue Extra or TOKO Blue possibly Red. Temps should be in the mid 20’s. For a more durable wax job a binder can be applied as a base layer. Either a thin green hard wax layer corked and ironed in or a thin green klister binder that you cover with hard wax.

Thursday 2/6 BK at the the range – Skate skiing. BK Racing will have a biathlon introduction with the EABC and USBA Coach Algis Shalna

Junior Photos: Rumford Eastern Cups

By Adam Terko on 28 January, 2014 in BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

Wow what an amazing weekend January 18-19 up in good ‘ole Rumford Maine!! I say amazing for many reasons: we skied on a full 5km race course both days, on very good conditions. We had an incredible turnout of MNC athletes and families. We had a great team dinner with something like 30 athletes and parents. And, to boot, the many of the athletes had really strong race results!

Thanks to many people for the weekend: Sharon Henry for organizing the team dinner, Ed Hamilton and Don Harmeyer for waxing assistance – especially Sunday which were challenging / changing conditions, Gary Solow for photos, and all the parents for making such a commitment to trek to the boondocks for a weekend!

All the of the good photos below are from Gary. The few grainy and low-res pictures are from me. I apologize as there are a few athletes whose pictures I didn’t get.

Tatum, Marika and Eliza working hard in the mass-start

Forrest Hamilton off to a quick start – wearing the yellow “leader’s jersey”

Will Solow trying to find the draft

Autumn Eastman looking fast in the skate race

Callie Braun in the women’s 10km

Team dinner and sweet-16 for Tatum!

Charlie Maitland has been kicking butt in HS races and also had great performances in two long races at Rumford

Henry Harmeyer in the men’s mass-start 15km. Off to the right – in black – is MNC coach Jake Hollenbach!

Bill Harmeyer coming through the lap in the skate race.

201 is national champ and now 4-time Olympian Kris Freeman en route to victory. Amazing that our juniors in New England have such high-caliber competition. #203 is Sylvan Ellefson who recently won a National Championship in the 30km skate race out in Utah. And #202 is Matt Liebsch who narrowly missed the 2014 Olympics.
