Update, we have changed the race date to Saturday January 17 due to the lack of snow.Welcome to the Red Barn Relay, a cross country ski race for casual skiers to competitive duos! All proceeds benefit Grand Nordic's youth ski programs.
Teams of two can register for either the combined 5K or 10K race. 5K racers will each ski one 2.5K lap while 10K racers will each ski two 2.5K alternating laps. This is a freestyle race and classic or skate skis can be used. Expect lots of action and passing!
Categories include female/female, male/male, female/male for elementary, middle and high school divisions as well as adults. We also have a Mini me category for parents/caregivers who team up with a child who is 10 or under. In a nod to world cup tradition, winning teams will receive a prize of cheese from Ft. Collins' Mouco Cheese!
The race will be hosted out of the Camper Hub building which is adjacent to the Snow Mountain Ranch Nordic Center. Bib pickup starts at 9:30am with the 10K starting at 11am and the 5K starting at 11:05am. We will have snacks and awards following the races. So find a partner and let's have some fun out on the trails!
