2017 Eirawen20 Race Report

Seventeen people from 2 states competed in the first annual Eirawen20 race. All things considered, that was a good number for the initial race. We will most likely stage the race the same weekend next year, or possibly 2 weeks before. In general, it seemed people enjoyed themselves despite the inevitable degradation of the course due to hi temps. A record hi was set, at 56 for the day, eclipsing by 9 degrees the previous record of 47. The race raised $350 for purchase of a groomer for Potawatomi Park.

​

​

We were impressed by the massive outpouring of support from the community by individuals and businesses. Without this support, races like this one simply won't work. But that was not surely not the case- a whopping 17 people gladly donated their time and talent, and that is sincerely appreciated. If you would like to help with next years race, E-Mail Tom P at snowkraftnordic@gmail.com.

​

Following is a list of individuals and businesses who helped. Thank You!! I'm sure I'll omit somebody- please let me know if I should add someone.
