Nakkertok Cookie Race @ Nakkertok Nordic Centre
Feb 22 all-day

XCSO Tier 3 race

The annual Nakkertok Cookie race for U18, and younger. Skate Technique.

Registration is now open

The National Capital Region’s oldest and largest junior ski race, the Cookie Race appeals to young skiers of all abilities and ages. Almost as old as Nakkertok itself, it is steeped in tradition, remembered with affection by past participants and designed for fun. This free technique ski race is named for the prize that every skier receives at the finish line. It’s a great place to get a first taste of what cross-country ski racing is all about and to test the developing skills of more experienced racers.

La Course aux Biscuits est la plus ancienne et la plus grande course de la région de la capitale nationale destinée aux jeunes. La tradition est presque aussi vieille que le club Nakkertok lui-même. Cette course visant le plaisir est bien ancrée dans la culture du club et les athlètes qui ont eu la chance d’y participer en garde un très bon souvenir. C’est l’événement parfait pour s’initier à la compétition de ski de fond ou pour mettre à l’épreuve la technique des skieurs plus expérimentés.
