Please read this information carefully. If you're already signed up, this is also being emailed to you. Registration closes at noon on Friday, February 28th. Sorry, we are unable to accept late entries. From P5 to the Start-Finish is about 200 metres. You can ski or walk this. Course maps and directions to the Start/Finish area here.
A reminder that insurance requirements dictate that all participants must be members of the Sun Peaks Nordic Club. Your entry in the T-Rex doesn't automatically join you to SPNC, it must be done separately. (The link, broken at the Zone4 end earlier this week is now fixed.) Join SPNC here.
Note that this year, in the interests of simplicity, we will have no formal timing. It's laps that count, so rest assured that laps will be counted and kept track of by our timing team in order to determine category winners.
Parents, feel free to accompany your child around the kids loop if desired. If this is all the skiing you're doing, you don't need to enter the event. If you are in the event for the big course with your bib on, please advise the timers as you finish, not to count your lap as it would be registered as a big lap.
Timelines for the day:
8:30-9:30 am: Sign-in and bib pickup in the eating shelter beside the umbrella cafe, near the base of the Orient Lift (note this is a different location from last year).
9:45 am: Pre-Race announcements at the Start-Finish area. Important instructions about the event; all participants must attend!
10:00 am: Mass start. NB For relay teams, only the team member doing the first lap starts now.
1:00 pm: Event ends. For a lap to count, it must be completed before the 3 hours is up. Partial laps unfortunately do not count. Hint: Keep track of your approximate lap times so as time gets short, you'll have an idea of whether or not you have time to squeeze another one in.
1:30 pm (or sooner if we can): Awards and wrap up.

Things to know:
What to Bring:
Clothing Strategy: We don't recommend you de-layer and get fully ready to ski until after the pre-race announcements at the Start-Finish area. We'll make sure everyone has time to do this, we don't want people shivering on the start line! Teams will want to decide ahead of time who is doing the first lap, because if it's not you, you'll be starting skiing even later than the 10 am mass start.
Washrooms: Located at the Umbrella Cafe near the East Village Centre (AKA Nordic Centre). You can walk there via P5, or ski via CottonTail ski trail. Sorry, it's a bit of a hike, but will keep you warm getting there and back!
Trail passes: This is not included in your entry, so if you don't already have a Nordic Pass, these can be purchased at the East Village Centre (AKA Nordic Centre).
What to Bring:
- Warm winter layers, and winter footwear (not just your x-c ski boots).
- A folding chair to rest in, and sit in while changing footwear
- Food to supply your needs throughout the day
- A backpack to transport your gear in to the Start-Finish area, and to stash clothing in while not in use
