The first event of the 2011 New England Marathon Series, the third of the 2011 TD Bank Citizen Series, as well as the prestigious 1-Day Club Championships, this classic technique marathon utilizes the unique trail systems in and around Jackson Village, and it all happens this weekend. The Course includes Jackson's new FIS Homologated Course, Wentworth Golf Course, and Eagle Mountain Fields. Entry includes food stations, post race meal, awards and random prizes to both racers and tourers. All proceeds will benefit valley-wide junior Nordic programs.
Conditions permitting, the 26 km course is planned to start behind the Touring Center, at 153 Main Street. Follow it through the Wentworth Fields for 4 km, ascend the Yodel Trail to the Eagle Fields, do 2 laps of the Wave and Eagle fields and descend the Yodel Trail to the Wentworth Fields, finishing across the street from the Touring Center. The timed, Classic technique, race begins at 9.30 a.m.
A post race lunch (for participants only) is being served at the Whitney Community Center, just next to Jackson Grammar School from 11.30 a.m. to 2.15 p.m. The Village House will be supplying cookies and Sally and Rebecca will be on hand to serve hungry racers. Random draw prizes will be distributed until around 2.15 p.m. For more information about this exciting event call Jackson Ski Touring Foundation on 603-383-9355 or visit http://www.jacksonxc.org/ for information.
Don't forget, if you plan to stay with us for the race, we are pet friendly too, so you can have your 4 legged friend join you. Pet sitting services are available at the Village House. At the end of the day, soak aching muscles in the hot tub or toast your toes by the fire in the lounge!
Happy Skiing, there's plenty of snow here and more on the way!
