Join us for the 2024 Ski Rodeo!
New this year - team and individual categories for all distances. Three race distances to choose from as an individual competitor or as part of a 2- or 3-person team : 15 km, 10km, 3km. (Plus a lollipop race for the young'uns!) Each race will be 3 laps. Teams must exchange in the stadium in the designated exchange area, so 2-person teams will have one skier ski 2/3 of the race, and the other skier ski 1/3 of the race.
The 5km loop (15 km race) will be the 'full loop' at the McCabe Trails, plus a flat start loop out towards the school entrance.
The 3km loop (10 km race) will be a mix of flat and rolling terrain with a couple of small climbs, but avoids the biggest downhills and the most technical turns.
The 1km loop (3 km race) includes mostly flat and rolling terrain with a couple of short steep hills. Age groups are designed to encourage racers to participate in the length and difficulty of course that is most appropriate for that age group.
Open age groups are open to participants of any age! We have decided to forego gender-based categories this year to keep things simple with the expanded number of categories.
Washington Nordic Cup participation points will be awarded to all eligible competitors! For full event info please visit our webpage.
Teams may be comprised of two or three skiers. One team member (or parent/guardian for minors) should register the entire team.
For teams and individual categories: all skiers must be within the specified age or year of birth range.
Open categories: participants may be of any age or year of birth.
