XCSO Tier 3 race
The annual Nakkertok Cookie race for U18, and younger. Skate Technique.
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.

Notice of National Capital District (NCD) AGM and Path Forward
Date: Wednesday April 30, 2025
Time: 19:00 ET
Location: Virtual on Zoom
Dear NCD Club Representatives,
As you may know the NCD as an entity has not been functioning since 2022. The NCD itself as a region with many clubs in Ontario has continued maintaining a voice within XCSO and regional events delivery through specific clubs and club representatives on XCSO Committees.
We must finalize a path forward for the NCD. A small group from the NCD has proposed a path forward which will ensure that the voice of the NCD continues to exist within XCSO and NCD Clubs will be able to access the funds that are currently held within the NCD bank account, without the need for a specific not for profit entity and associated governance structure and required volunteer commitments.
