Mt Ashwabay Summit Nordic Race
About this race
Citizen Racers
The 15k races will each consist of one loop, which goes out past the Sugarbush Cabin, up to the Summit, with views of Lake Superior, and down The Buzz. The 30k races will ski that loop twice. There will be two on-course aid stations with water, so 15k skiers will pass 2 aid stations, and the 30 skiers will pass 5 aid stations (2 on course each lap, one at the start/finish area).
Race Options:
15lk Classic
15k Skate
30k Skate
30k Classic
30k Skiathlon (classic and skate)
