Many thanks to Peter Westra’s family for sponsoring this great event for middle and high school Nordic racers!  The Westra’s encourage participation by awarding 1st and 2nd place giant cookies to the winners of 10 consolation “COOKIE” heats. Skiers who advance to the single elimination “SPRINT” heats compete for giant cookies awarded to 1st thru 8th places for both girls and boys! More than one-third of the 102 participants went home with Bonnie Alton’s Great Harvest Bakery cookies! Thank you to our returning starter Rachel Daw Elvester, four-time MN State High School Nordic Racing Champion! And big thank yous to Endurance United and to Elm Creek Park Reserve!
