Racers - check out the details below for a training event coming up at
the end of the month. I've done two of these before and Marc really
does a great job. He has some beautiful terrain to work with out there
and he enjoys getting you off trail to some very pretty locations.

This is a great chance to introduce someone new to the sport, to run
an early race to ramp up for the summer season, or to just come out
and have fun!

If you are in need, I can help work out canoe rentals through Umiak or
another supplier for the group.
