The series finale, and the only race measured by the clock instead of the course: ski as many 3K laps from the Magic Meadows Yurt as you can in two hours, or one. It counts one and a half times the usual points, and the season awards ceremony follows at the yurt.

Part of the Pinnacle Orthopedics Community Race Series from CB Nordic: a different format and location each week, 5 to 25 kilometers for the main event, a 3 to 6 kilometer short course, and a free 1 to 2 kilometer kids race. Points accrue through the season, your best three results count, and the series wraps with awards after Magic Meadows Mayhem in March.

Family Friendly Outdoor Event Kids Free or Reduced

What to bring: Skate skis, or rent them at the CB Nordic Center.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a timed race work?

Distance is open. Racers ski as many 3K laps as they can before time runs out; the youngest racers race the 3K loop for speed.

Do I have to race the whole series?

No. Each race stands on its own. For the series standings, your best three long course scores count, and a fourth score only breaks ties.

Which course counts for series points?

Only the long course. The top 10 men and top 10 women earn points, 10 for first down to 1 for tenth, and the finale at Magic Meadows counts one and a half times.

How do I register?

Online through RunSignup, race by race. Registering for all six races takes 20 percent off, and the kids race is free.

Can I rent skis?

Yes, from the CB Nordic Center rental shop in town.
