Ski-O @ Kincaid on Wed April 3rd

The Arctic Orienteering Club is putting on a Ski-Orienteering Race at Kincaid Park April 3rd. It will start and finish in the lower stadium parking lot, on the north end near Gong Hill.

  • This will be a traditional style meet with a long, medium, and short course.
  • Start times are between 5:00-6:30, or 7:00 if you are a smoking fast skier. Timing will end at 8:00 so flags can be removed that night.
  • There will not be e-punch timing. Controls will use a traditional punch card.
  • Racers are able to go backwards on trails, but need to pay attention and give skiers going the correct direction the right of way.
  • You must fill out a 2024 season waiver for this event.  Participants under 18 will need their parents to fill out the family season waiver.
  • This event is free!
