Nova Scotia Cross Country Ski Provincials

CANCELLED
Halifax Nordic Ski Club and Cross Country Ski Nova Scotia (CCNS) invite you to participate in races that bring together skiers from across the province to celebrate nordic skiing in Nova Scotia. We are delighted that skiers from Nova Scotia and PEI training for the Special Olympics will be racing on Saturday too.
Saturday will have a timed classic race - distances according to age category, followed by a just-for-fun Mixer Relay that will have young/old, beginner/experienced, male/female skiers matched up in an equalizing short freestyle relay. Everyone, skiers and non-skiers are welcome to an awards dinner for chili and door prizes. Sunday morning there will be a timed skate race, distances according to age category.
