The first U10 and U12 race weekend is quickly approaching. This forum post is where we will post all race information. Our team goals are to fun, try our best and support each other. If the kids want to see some really cool folks trying their best and never giving up, check out this World Cup video .  And if you need a different kind of inspiration, the Taylor Swift documentary does a good job of re-enforcing our team goals.

Start times 
U10 and U12 races will be run mid afternoon. The exact times will be available once start lists are released on zone 4 after the coaches meeting. Expect the start lists to be available from 8:30 pm the night before each race. For start lists: click here.

Glide Wax
The glide wax recommendation is:
Saturday- CH4 (green) or  PS5 (turquoise) or PS6 or Ulla blue. Anything hard, cold fluoro free green wax will do the trick.
Sunday- PS6 or Ulla Blue
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 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 Saturday after the skate race and no later than 5:45 pm. The Canmore Nordic Team room is biathlon area and the door is marked with a #2.

On race day, Canmore Nordic is responsible for taking the kids on a warm up and bringing them the start line. Parents and fans, meet us in the finish area. You will find us eating cookies in the finish area.

U8/U10/U12 – Participation award for all racers.
U12/U14/U16 – Year of Birth medals for 1 st , 2 nd , and 3 rd
