Kids Race & Potluck Saturday Mar. 2nd

This Saturday, March 2^nd, is our final event of the year.  The weather forecast looks great and the camp has a lot of snow!  As we did last year we will be having our kids “race/tour” and potluck.  Our Bay Nordic Kids race is our own small version of the Barnebirkie.  The kids are encouraged to go at their own pace, whether high speed or at a leisurely pace.  Whatever they choose, we want parents at the start/finish are and along the course with their cowbells, whistles, horns, etc.!  Let’s make this a great event for the kids.

The potluck will include burgers & hot dogs on the grill along with all the side dishes brought by the parents.  The anticipated schedule is as follow:

10:00am – Kids in their groups for a warm-up.

10:20am – Coaches will start gathering kids at the start line.
10:30am – Start of the race/tour. 

                3-4 yr olds:  1/2 to 1 KM (dependent on Coach Sue)

                5-6 yr olds: 2 KM (1 lap)
                7-12 yr olds: 4 KM (2 laps, we will have a cutoff time for the 2^nd lap to make sure we don’t have any kids out too long)
                Skaters (Polar Bears) – 4KM one loop

Following completion all kids will receive their participation medal.  We will not be getting back into groups, the potluck will be ready!

Looking forward to Saturday!

Saturday Feb 16th 10-Noon

Crazy weather again this weekend but hopefully the County will get the trails back to great conditions by Saturday!  We will be watching the trail conditions and communicating with the County. We do fully expect to have Bay Nordic this Saturday as schedule. 

The original schedule was to have the kids “race” this weekend in concurrence with the adult Stump Farm race; however, due to the challenges this winter for snow & planning involved, the Stump Farm adult race will not happen.  The good news is we plan to make this a regular “group instruction” session then do our kids “race” during our last event on March 2^nd.  We did this last year and it worked well with the kids getting play time after and the potluck.

See you Saturday
