to register – https://zone4.ca/reg.asp?id=6101&lan=1&cartlevel=1 registration closes Thursday Jan 9, 11:59pm These are inexpensive races – $10 at the Calgary event hosted by Foothills.
information about the series – this event series replaces the bow corridor regional race series and focuses on earning team points towards season aggregate banners awarded to participating clubs. The more kids we have participating, the more points we earn towards the club banner awarded at the end of the season. B4S has more than one race on a race day – the goal is to create something a little different than what kids experience at other races – giving kids multiple race experiences on a day.
Other B4S events include
Okotoks – Jan 25
Bragg Creek – Feb 14
Canmore – Mar 9
wax recommendations for our Jan 11 event will be emailed/shared on thursday.
We hope everyone can make it to this fun event.
