First off, what is a Skiathlon???
It's a historic event in nordic skiing that combines classic and skate skiing in one event. You switch skis half way through. You start with a mass start classic race and then switch skis to skate. Skiers keep their skate skis in a coral next to a flag with their bib number.
For the Badger Skiathlon we will offer a U18 race start and a separate adult race start.
Classic first, Skate second.
RULES:
- You must switch skis
- You have to ski classic skis (waxable, grip, skins).
- You can only use items that are in your transition area (no going to the car or lodge)
- Classic then skate (two slightly different courses)
- Classic will include the tee box climb and stegasauras
