Last Updated: 22.Dec.2018

December 22 UPDATE:  racing will start at NOON, not 11:15 due to Eastern Cup Schedule changes.

Excited to host the first BKL racing opportunity of the season: Sunday, Dec. 23rd, directly following the conclusion of the Eastern Cup races!
 
Details:
Day-of-race registration is $5, starting at 10:30am in the AC. First race goes off at NOON.

Mass start by age group, freestyle technique (classic or skate). Distances for each age group is roughly:

  • Lollipop: ~0.5k

  • Grades 1&2: 1.5k

  • Grades 3&4: 2.5k

  • Grades 5&6: 3k

  • Grades 7&8: 4k

We’re starting a new thing for our Grades 1-6 age groups: we will not be timing those races or publishing results. Order-of-finish ribbons will be given through 10th place for all grades, and everyone gets lollipops and cookies at the finish.
 
Check our race flyer for more info.
 
Parents: we are looking for volunteers to help us bake cookies, hand out & collect bibs, work registration, and marshal kids around the correct course. Sign up to volunteer here. Thank you in advance for your help! And a big thanks goes to Victoria, our BKL district chair, for getting this event organized.
