TRS3 Press Release
KINROSS Fort Knox Town Race Series Classic Sprint This Weekend
The Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks winter competition schedule rings in 2023 with the third race in the twenty-eighth annual KINROSS Fort Knox Town Race Series, a sprint in classic technique, Saturday, January 21, at 10:00am at the Jim Whisenhant Ski Trails at Birch Hill Recreation Area.
The KINROSS Fort Knox Town Race Series provides a competitive forum for skiers of all ages beginning with pre-schoolers. Over 150 entries are anticipated. Sprint races are held in small heats over short distances. The high school, college and adult racers will compete in several rounds of heats, with each skier competing two or three times. The elementary and middle schoo-aged skiers will each race twice, once in a preliminary round to warm up, and once in a final round that counts in the rankings.
There will be an “A” Bracket and a “B” Bracket in the high school/college/adult sprints. The “A” Bracket will include a qualification round beginning at 10AM with skiers starting at 15-second intervals. After the qualifying round is complete, there will be a 90-minute break before those skiers start racing in the “knockout” heats. The “B” Bracket will not include the qualifying round — skiers will start right off with heats.
During the “A” bracket’s 90 minute break, some of the other classes will race. After the “A” Bracket heats are complete, the heats for the classes which have not yet raced will go off. Start times for each class will be established based upon the numbr of skiers who register, so we cannot specify start times as of this date. Please watch nscfairbanks.org for more race information on the Town Race Series #3 page.
Entry is free for all students from Kindergarten through high school. School students who are part of a school or club team or program should be entered through their school club or team. All school-aged skiers must be entered in each race in the series during the week leading up to the race. Individual students who are not part of a program, and adults, can enter online at https://register.chronotrack.com/r/71984.
The entry fee for adults is $10 for members of the Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks, and $15 for non-members. Race entries close at midnight Wednesday night, January 18. There will be no late entries or race day entries.
All elementary finishers receive a ribbon recognizing their achievement. Elementary, middle school and high school-aged competitors who finish three or more of the races in the series will receive a free, commemorative t-shirt at the conclusion of the series.
