The Willow Carnival Skijor Race starts on Willow Lake below the Community
Center shortly after 11 AM and finishes around 12 noon to 12:30 PM.
Registration is inside the Community Center beginning at 10 AM and ending at 11
AM with the race talk.
The race features a LeManns Mass start where skiers tethered to their dogs line
up behind a line 50 yards behind a line where skis and poles are placed on the snow.
The Race Marshall signals the start and skiers and dogs run up to ski equipment,
stop, put on ski equipment, and then ski off across the lake. This staggers the
start, and the first team in wins.
There will be 5-mile and 11- mile courses with 1-dog and 2-dog classes. Skiers need
to watch for the cutoff sign part way through the race.
Men and women compete against each other.
Food and other items will be available at the
carnival in the Willow Community Center.
