Updated - MLK Day race in Fryeburg

~ Updated on Sunday, January 15 at 6:45pm ~

We have a fun relay race at Fryeburg on Monday, January 15.  Here's what there is to know:

Race Format:
Each school may field two 4-person girls teams and two 4-person boys teams. Those not 'fitting' onto a relay team will be in the girls or boys mass start race after the relays are complete. This is a skate race. Due to the recent weather, the course is quite fast. For safety reasons, big downhills have been removed and therefore some distance has been added. Everyone will now ski two laps for a total of 5.57K per skier.


Race times - because of the longer course distance, race times have been adjusted.  New race times are:
10:00 - Girls Relay
11:30 - Boys Relay
1:00 - Mass Start Boys
1:05 - Mass Start Girls

Transportation (new return time):
  • Vans will be leaving Desert Rd at 7:15 AM.  Anyone wanting a ride on a van MUST contact Susan by Sunday at 3:00 PM.  If you don't request a ride on the van, don't count on a seat on the van.
  • The vans will return to Desert Rd after the race, probably arriving around 3:30-4:00ish.  Kids can call from the van with more exact timing.
  • Van riders should bring just the skis they will use today, as space for skis is tight.

Anyone getting themselves to Fryeburg should plan to arrive by 8:45 AM, out in the stadium by 9:00 AM.
