The Race of Champions

Racers that win their age and ability group on Saturday will be invited to compete for the overall win in the handicapped Race of Champions on Sunday. The Race of Champions is handicapped so that young and old can compete on a level playing field.

Men and women compete separately but all racers carry their handicap into the final race where their time is discounted using their handicap. The first racer down the course will have the highest handicap and that racer will stand on top of the podium until a racer with a faster handicapped time bumps them off the top step of the podium with a faster discounted time. The racers with the lowest handicaps race last and the person standing on top of the podium at the end of the race is the overall winner. Awards are also presented to the racers with the fastest raw times.
 

Team Races

The Team Races on Sunday are designed for families to compete together as a team or for groups of friends to compete together as a team. We encourage participants to meet new friends during the event and form Friends Teams. There will be separate races for family teams and teams of friends and awards will be present to two ability groups. Teams that score Platinum/Gold NASTAR Team Points will compete and teams that score Silver/Bronze NASTAR Team Points will be grouped together. Teams will race their way into a division based on the numbers of team points scored by the team. Friends Teams can have up to eight people but only four racers will be used to score points for each team. NASTAR Team Points will be used to score teams so that age and gender can be used to handicap racers. Family Teams are not limited by the number of team members, but there must be a direct family relation. Only the three best family team members will be used to score the team regardless of the number of family team members on the team. 

How we score teams

Awards will be presented immediately following the race. 

 

More Than a Race

All racing will take place on the North Boyne trail, one of the best NASTAR trails in the country. There will be a sponsor village, an awards party, live music, gift bags, an autograph sessions and Pacesetting by Olympian and U.S. Ski Team veteran, Marco Sullivan.
