Mesabi East Invite Update

Mesabi East XC Invitational will be held on Saturday, January 7, 2012.

John Filander, Race Director has designed a 2.7km man-made snow loop utilizing the base of the Alpine area and the North Face Cat Track to serve as the race course for the race, if there is not enough natural snow to run the original course. The race will consist of two laps and will be the same format as previous years with the Classic races held in the morning starting at 10AM and the Free Technique races starting at approximately 12:30PM. Last year`s race had nearly 1300 starters in the Varsity and JV races.

Coaches are reminded to register by 12/30 electronically with Chuck Olson at itiming
