Sofie Manarin Loppet NOD race series 4 @ Laurentian Nordic
Feb 12 @ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
The tribute race to the late Sudbury skier Sophie Manarin will take place at Laurentian Nordic on February 12th.
NOD will be supporting the event and we are encouraging racers who attend the Ontario Winter Games the day before to stop over and take on a distance race of their choice.
Dear NOD Racers:
Learn how to get that extra bit of kick or glide, we will help you.
Learn how to take feeds on the fly, you provide the feed.
We realize this is the day after OWG races, but could be a fun stopover ski on your way home.
