New England Club Relay Championships *^

By Kort Longenbach on 31 October, 2017 in

This past March was our inaugural event, which had about 35 teams. The event is designed to create a fun atmosphere where we encourage everyone from first time racers to top collegiate athletes to team up in <200 and >200 year combined age groups. Each 4 person relay team will ski 2 legs of classic technique followed by 2 legs of skate technique. Awards will be given out to the first place team in men’s, women’s, and mixed in both the <200 and >200 combined age groups. All official teams must be made up of all members from the same club in order to score club points to determine the team results. Unofficial teams made up of people from different clubs will be eligible for prizes but not score for the club points. The event was a real hit with all those who attended last year.

Race Information:

4 person mass start relay with 5km of classic and 5km of skate technique. Race starts at 11:00 AM.

Registration Information: Registration via SkiReg

As last year, we are encouraging MNC members of all ages and abilities to cap off the season with some spring racing and a challenge to score lots of points for the Club Cup. This is a race for everyone: teams can be mixed in gender, all ages, and all abilities.

So if you are looking for a team please sign-up on MNC Relay Sign-Up google form. Provide your name, preferred technique or any other requests and we will do the rest matching people up.
