    Glide waxing is not requirement for U10 and U12. It will not effect racing outcomes at the Track Attack age but can be a fun or funny optional family activity.

    Classic ski grip wax preparation
    The Canmore Nordic parent volunteer waxing team will apply grip wax on race day. The expectation is that classic skis are marked with your child’s name and race category with a marked, clean and sanded grip zone. To find grip zones: click here. Classic race skis can be delivered to the Canmore Nordic team room after the race on Saturday or no later than 1:45 hours before race start. The Canmore Nordic Team room is biathlon area and the door is marked with a #2. If you wish to apply grip wax on your own, the grip wax recommendation will be Rode Violet.

The U12 and U14 will be seeded together for the heats based on combined qualifying times.

    How a race day looks
    Racing for Track Attack is highly encourage and a great opportunity to try our best with a bunch of fun kids. The program is designed to for maximum fun and to build independence in the athletes. Canmore Nordic is responsible for taking the kids on a warm up and bringing them the start line. Parents, please cheer loudly and meet your kids at the finish line.
