More details to follow.\nThe 20km race is part of the Zak and Club Cup Series. \nRegistration Information:\nRegistration will be available soon at https://www.skireg.com/flying-moose-classic \nThis year the race is slated for the new Bethel Village Trails (BVT)\, headquartered at the Bethel Inn\, in Bethel. Grooming is still by Pistenbully (2) with snowmobile (3) back-up/touch-up. The new course features more varied terrain\, with considerably more low-angle segments on the Pasture Path and Dog Days trails\, punctuated by the hills and twists of Hedgehog and Corkscrew. The Flying Moose at BVT will be somewhat faster than at Pine Hill\, and also more accessible to skiers new to mid-distance races. The race start/finish stadium features significantly longer starting run-in\, and greatly reduced congestion as start lanes narrow. Many racers will find this to be the greatest improvement to the Flying Moose Classic. Racers will have access to the BVT Nordic Center\, and the wider facilities of the Bethel Inn. \nWe have been using and refining our new timing system this summer\, and results will be available live on-line as well as viewable on monitors at the race stadium. \nFood and refreshments will be available to racers at the stadium as well as the extensive fare for purchase inside the Bethel Inn. \nParking and shuttle service will be expanded as registration warrants. Currently we have parking available at the venue for personal vehicles and some larger vans or busses. \nFor more information please contact Fred Call at skiercat@gmail.com URL:https://www.mansfieldnordic.org/event/flying-moose-classic/ LOCATION:Bethel Village Trails\, Bethel\, ME\, United States CATEGORIES:BKL,Calendar,Masters END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180303 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180304 DTSTAMP:20260426T134733 CREATED:20180301T163314Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180301T163314Z UID:10944-1520035200-1520121599@www.mansfieldnordic.org SUMMARY:Sliver Fox Trot moved to Rikert DESCRIPTION:Now at Rikert!
