Course Inspection:
Friday, February 10, 2023. Inspect the course free with your Trail Creek season pass or $20 for a one day pass. Pay at the cabin with cash or online here
Parking & Shuttle:
Parking at Trail Creek Nordic Training Center is VERY limited. We will be running a shuttle for all racers and volunteers from the Stilson Ranch parking lot starting at 8:00 AM. The shuttle will run directly to Trail Creek and drop you off at the venue. PLEASE take the shuttle if at all possible. Return shuttles will go from Trail Creek back to Stilson when the race is completed. Shuttles will depart from Stilson starting at 8 AM and will run approximately every half hour to Trail Creek.
Race Course:
Course Map at the bottom of this page.
There will be marked sections for each distance at the start area. The race will start and end at the same location in the stadium by the Cabin. For those of you familiar with the course at Trail Creek, we do not have Gut Flop in the course.
Aid Stations:
There will be an aid station with snacks and liquids for racers in the start/finish area. 20k Competitors will be able to access this station at the lap, which is at the 10k mark. There are no other aid stations on the course so if you need food at intermediate points that is your responsibility.
Race Waxing:
Temperatures are forecasted to be 18 degrees and partly cloudy at 10 AM race start, which will be great racing temps! The forecasted low the night before is 8 degrees, rising to 29 by 1 PM. Wax accordingly!
Skinny Skis Race Ski Demo:
Our title sponsor Skinny Skis will have race-ready top of the line demo skis available for any competitor who wants to try out some brand new race skis! They will have a tent set up in front of the cabin, stop by if you want to try some brand new race gear!
Facilities:
Trail Creek Nordic Center does not have an indoor warm up area or lockers for gear storage. Port-a-john restrooms are available.
