FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

39th Annual Minnesota Finlandia Update

Finlandia skiers are family! We encourage you to join us Saturday February 19 for the return of the legend! Our course conditions have never been better with enormous snowfall this year and what promises to be an exceptional day of scenic skiing both for racers and those touring the big woods of the north.

COVID precautions are necessary! – to help our healthcare workers and mitigate community spread we will have ONLINE and MAIL IN PAPER REGISTRATION ONLY. Registrations must be received in the mail by Friday February 18th. RACE DAY BIB PICKUP ONLY, begins at 8:00AM and the first start will be moved back to 11:00AM. There will be NO FRIDAY NIGHT REGISTRATION! All awards will be done Minnesota style at the finish line instead of the typical Hall of Fame gathering, so bring your warm coat, your biggest smiles and your loudest cheers! No “Hall of Fame” feed this year, we expect to have this tradition back next year for the 40th Annual Finlandia.

Please continue to watch skinnyski.com and minnesotafinlandia.com websites for updates. Gather your friends and pack the car! The Minnesota Finlandia has long been an old school favorite among racers for its easy no-fuss access to the start/finish, amazingly scenic course, and trail groomers who see to it you have an excellent race day experience. This race is a special and we hope to see you and your family this year! See you at the start line!
