Clarenville Summitt Race 2012 Cancelled

2012-02-22T23:24:00.000-03:30

The Summitt Race planned this Saturday Febr 25 is cancelled. The committee met tonight and a decision was reached. We don't have enough of our system in good shape to offer a safe race.

It is frustrating because some of our trails are in very good shape but we can't offer a sensible one way loop for a race that takes in the Summitt etc. Even if we get snow tomorrow night it won't be enough. Temps are warm into the weekend also. The " notch " across the Summitt and about .75 km before Bear Pond cabin is essentially bare.

We do apologize and really wanted to make this happen.

As mentioned we do have several km's of trail that is very good including the challenging uphill 7.5 on through to Lindo's lookout. Excellent training stuff !!

Clarenville Nordic would like to extend an invite to Gander and Avalon to come this weekend and utilize these sections of our system for pre marathon training. Just notify myself or Corwin and we will meet you guys and let you know were to ski. We can even do timing if you want to some time trials etc. I still would use your " B " skis !!!

There will be no fees charged this Sat or Sunday for any members of Gander or Avalon who want to use our trails .

Hope to see you this weekend. We will do our best to accomodate you !! Again sorry we could not pull it off.

The Aurora Nordic ski club is hosting the 2012 Provincial Cross Country Ski Marathon in St.Anthony on March 3rd.

2012 CCNL Kids Ski Fest & Midget Championships, and School Sports NL High School Championships

2012-01-26T23:30:00.000-03:30

Just a little clarification on the registration process for the different events we will be hosting from the 24th to the 26th.

The Zone 4 website registration and the paper registration forms on our website are to register for the Kids Fest & Midget Championships only. Registration for the High School championships is being done by the high schools. The schools will collect all registration information and money for the event.

On Friday night after the kids races are done we will be holding Open Night Races. These races will be open to all who are interested in participating. Registration will occur on Friday night prior to the event and the awards are bragging rights.

On Sunday we will be offering an exhibition Biathlon race that will be open to those born in 2001 or earlier (including adults). Registration will be prior to the event and you must attend the training seminar on Saturday night. Guns will be provided and awards are bragging rights.

It's going to be a busy weekend and were sure there will be something for everyone. Although this is a competitive event our goal is to make it as fun as possible for everyone and we are sure everyone will have a great time.
