Race Day Information

Please Read

· Please wear your assigned bib. Stop at all food stops as we will be monitoring bib numbers at some of the food stops. Also, sign in with the Course Monitor at the intersection of Bear/Bruce/Ranch Camp. We want to make sure you all get back safely!!

· In an emergency, call 777-0289. For other problems, call the Stowe Mtn Resort Cross Country Center: 253-3688 or check in at the Trapp’s Slayton Pasture Cabin.

· The 25K course passes the Trapp’s Slayton Pasture Cabin (on the map). There is free water and an outhouse. Only stop if there is an urgent need as all skier’s must be back at the start by 2:00.

· Checkpoints: 25K skier’s must reach the Course Monitor check point by 11:00, otherwise you will be diverted to the 15K route.

· If you sign up for the 15K course, you can not change to the 25K course once the tour begins.

· If you get lost, backtrack to re-connect with the course and ask for help. Always stay on the groomed trail system.

· All turns and most intersections are marked with orange arrows. If an intersection is not marked, go straight. When in doubt, check the map.

· To be fair to our volunteers (we want them back next year), the food stops will close up at 1:30.

· A map of the course will be provided at registration.

· Remember to carry a water bottle.
