Utah Cross Country Ski Race Calendar
Below is the schedule for cross country ski races in Utah and vicinity that
are popular with local cross country skiers. For more information about cross
country ski racing in Utah, check the The
Utah Nordic Alliance (TUNA) website, or send email to me at hanscom 'at'

The premier Utah events are the five Wasatch Citizens Series races. Sponsored by Smartwool, the series is held at the major cross country ski areas in the Salt Lake vicinity. It consists of two classical technique and three free technique events. There are twenty age groups for each gender, plus novice classes for both adults and juniors. In addition, there are expert classes for University and US Ski Team skiers and those who enjoy competing with skiers at that level.

Last update: January 5, 2012
07/02/11 - First draft. Let me know if I missed anything.
10/05/11 - Corrected date for TUNA Wooden Ski Classic (March 17), added dates for Steamboat Pentathlon and Wasatch Powderkeg (March 10), and Equinox Ski Challenge (March 24).
10/05/11 - Changed North Routt Coureur des Bois to Steamboat Coureur des Neiges. Note different date and course. It appears that the Coureur des Bois no longer exists.
11/07/11 - Oops. The Coureur des Bois was actually changed to Glide the Divide (on March 17), and Coureur des Neiges is a new event. Both are ultra marathons (90 and 100 kilometers, respectively).
11/07/11 - Added the Ogden Nordic events. Note that the Presidents Day Race was changed to the O'Nordic Championship on March 10.
12/05/11 - Removed some of the Ogden Nordic events, and changed the date of the TUNA/White Pine Relay to Sun, Jan 8.
01/05/12 - Changed the date of the Potato Cup to Sun, Feb 19.
