Cookie Race
The National Capital Region’s oldest and biggest junior race, the Cookie Race appeals to young skiers of all abilities and ages (4-18). And not just because everyone gets a cookie.
Competitive (morning), recreational (afternoon), paranordic, and special olympics categories will be started and timed separately. Our aim is to include all skiers who want to race and keep the event fair and fun for everyone.
Parents should consider which category would be most suitable for their child. If you have questions regarding choice of category please contact the race registrar.
Tips on your athlete’s first race
Almost as old as Nakkertok itself, it is steeped in tradition, remembered with affection and designed for fun. This free technique race is named for the delicious “medal” that every child receives at the finish line. It’s a great place to get a first taste of what cross country ski racing is all about and to test the developing skills of more experienced racers.
