Course Details

NEW COURSE: Our new course places a centralized transition at the top of the Paris Mill Hill. Athletes will ride their bikes approx. 2.8 miles up Buckskin Road to the transition area. Here they will transition to their skis for a moderate climb up Windy Ridge Road (CR783) 1.5 miles to the turnaround and then 1.5 miles back downhill to the transition area. Athletes will then run/hike or snowshoe depending on the snow up Buckskin Road towards Kite Lake. This section of roadway is not plowed but we will create a run track with snowmobiles. Turn around at 1.5 miles and head back to transition. Finish up the race on your bike descending Buckskin Road back to Town.

The course change will make for an amazing event, gorgeous views, and allow us to be more flexible with course corrections in the event we have weather on race day. The bike course will be suitable for either mountain bike or fat bike as it will be plowed up to the transition area.

New Relay Option

ALSO NEW RELAY! With the single transition area, we can accommodate a discipline handoff and you can now form a team. Grab some buddies who ski, run, or bike and split up the event. Athletes on a team can drive to the transition and stay cozy in their cars while their teammates race! We will have hot chocolate and an Aid Station in Transition.
