August 14, 2011

 

This exciting event at Elver Park in Madison, Wisconsin will again be run primarily on wooded ski trail with a few sections of single track trail. The 5.5K features numerous climbs and the 9K and 14.5K feature some technical sections.

All proceeds from the event will go towards the Adopt an Athlete Program, started by the Central Cross Country Ski Association (a 501(c)3 not for profit corporation) to support opportunities for talented athletes to pursue athletic excellence in the Winter Olympic Games.
