WST/CSU 2010 XC Race Series

The Cambridge Sports Union ski section and Weston Ski Track team up each year to put on a series of Tuesday night cross country ski races. These freestyle races begin promptly at 7:00 pm. They typically cover about 5km.

We plan to start the official series Tuesday the 5th of January. Hopefully there will be enough cover by the 5th.

To register for the race series you need simply to sign up at Weston Ski Track and pay a one-time $15. We really believe that the $15 offers an exceptional value - 9 races and a fun race and banquet on the final Tuesday. We use the money for lights, batteries, whiteboard, miscellaneous expenses, and of course, the awards and banquet. You must note, however, that each participant is responsible for his or her own day pass or season pass to permit use of Weston Ski Track.

There will be registration forms at Weston Ski Track which need to be filled out when you pay the $15 one-time fee. You may also register below online instead, but you will need to check the "Registered Online" box on a hardcopy registration form when you pay at Weston. All registrants will be given race numbers which will be your number for the entire season. It isn't a number you wear (there are no physical numbers), but our way of quickly recording finishers by having them give us their race numbers instead of names to speed writing in the wind and cold and snow and dark as everyone passes through the finish chute.

We will publish the race number list prior to the first race on the 5th. You can also check at the Ski Track on the evening of the 5th to get your race number then. If you sign up on the 5th, don't worry, you can race without a number. It's simply a convenience for us to use them.

Final 2010 Season Overall and Age Class results here.

This year we are making a scoring change. In the past we have counted ALL races. This year we are counting the best 6 results of the 9 race series. This perhaps will take a bit of the pressure off the diehards garnering those dearly won points.

Sign up for the race series below. If you have signed up in person at Weston Ski Track you do not need to sign up again. Remember, you only need to sign up once all winter and then just show up at the start line. Signing up doesn't commit you to anything.

We don't use or divulge any information entered except for race results. Age is only for the purpose of age-class rankings. Email address is only necessary if you want to receive results or announcements by email and you are not on the CSU Ski mail list.
