2023/2024 Ontario Cup Schedule
Cross Country Ski Ontario is pleased to announce the 2023/2024 Ontario Cup Schedule.
Ontario athletes can look forward to an exciting 2023-2024 race season with a 5 event OCUP Series on offer across the province, along with Ontario Winter Games and Ontario University Athletic Championships in Thunder Bay, and Ontario Youth Championships in Sault Sainte Marie. Para Nordic athletes also have several events to choose from. In addition, both Nordiq Canada selection Trials (Mont Saint Anne) and Nordiq Canada Ski Nationals (Nakkertok) will be hosted in the East.
At XCSO we want to ensure that every athlete who wants to race has the opportunity to do so regularly, and at well run events, with a variety of competition and formats; and that sites that wish to host an OCUP have the opportunity to do so. Fast, fun and fair racing.
A printable PDF OCUP and Domestic Race calendar as well as the OCUP Bid Process and Decision Making Rationale can be found at the Events Tab on the website. The events are also listed individually on the Home Page Event List on the website, and will be updated regularly as details become available.
