BKL families and skier,

Much like years past, MNC will be getting young skiers into the winter spirit with Fall Friday activities starting mid-October!

Mansfield Nordic Fall Activities

What: Fun games, ski-specific activities like hillbounding and strength training, and general fitness work. For all skiers at the BKL level, this is a great way to start getting ready for the season ahead and also spend time with fellow MNC members! Rollerskis will be available for skiers to try on certain days.

When: Every Friday afternoon (3:45pm-5:15pm) from October 21 through November 18th.

Where: Sessions will alternate each week between Mills Riverside Park in Jericho and Williston Central School. See schedule below:

October 21: Mills Riverside Park

October 28: Williston Central School

Introducing the MNC Summer 5k Run!

By Adam Terko on 10 May, 2016 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, Junior Blog, Masters Blog

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!

BKL Skiing 3/15 – 3/20

By Adam Terko on 15 March, 2016 in BKL Jackrabbits, BKL Race Blog, BKL Training Schedule

Attention BKL skiers and families! The skiing season at the Range may be winding down, but there are several great opportunities and events coming up.

Eastern HS Championships at Rikert this weekend are a great event and a lot of fun. The skiing is great on a 2.5km loop, so a fun day trip can be made to watch the top racers in New England (and cheer on the many MNC athletes competing), and get some skiing in after the events!

Fast and Female at Craftsbury this weekend is highly recommended for young MNC ladies! These get-togethers feature meet-and-greet time with US Ski Team members, group games and activities, and skiing. Check out a link by clicking below:
