Join us for the 2022 MBNA Pole Mountain Shuffle at 10am on Saturday, January 29!
A free community race for cross-country skiers of all ability levels
We will offer two race courses this year - 5 km and 10 km - with a classic and a freestyle event for both distances.
Depending on the number of participants, we will either have a mass start at 10 a.m. or start participants in waves 5-10 minutes apart (freestyle and then classic). The starting line will be in the Lower Meadow, so please give yourself plenty of time to ski from the trailhead to the start (approximately ½ mile).
Come out to meet your fellow skiers and support the xc skiing community. The race is free and any proceeds from donations (after accounting for race expenses) will be utilized to support MBNA’s ongoing grooming efforts and youth skiing.
Note that while the event is free, parking is not! The trails and parking are within the Medicine Bow National Forest and an annual parking pass or $5 day-use pass is required to park at the Tie City trailhead.
We encourage you to register for this race online to simplify race-day logistics. On-line registration will close at 6 pm on Friday, January 28. Race day registration will be available in the Lower Meadow from 8:30 – 9:45 a.m. Racers must be checked in by 9:45 a.m. to receive a bib. Those who arrive later will be welcome to participate, but will not receive an official time or be included in the race results.
On-line registration: www.webscorer.com/register?raceid=263093
We need volunteers! If you or your friends/family would like to volunteer, please contact us at medbownordic@gmail.com
COVID Protocols: All spectators, volunteers, coaches, and athletes are strongly recommended to wear a mask anytime they are within 6 feet of another person. Athletes may remove their face covering for racing. Athletes are recommended to put a face covering back on as soon after the competition as they can. Athletes should be prepared to keep moving through the finish chute in order to make space for other finishers.
