Rules and Course Map
Race Rules
-
Stick to one method: Use the same method (spikes, skis, snowshoes, etc.) for both ascending and descending. Mixing methods (like hiking up and skiing down) is not allowed. For Midway and Lumberyard Brewing Co. Agassiz races, choose your category (traction or skinning) during registration.
-
Obey downhill navigation rules: Skiers must keep to the left, while runners and hikers should stay on the right. Always be cautious near areas with flashing lights.
-
Inform staff about course changes: If you complete a different course than registered, inform the timing staff at the finish line.
Safety Rules
-
Mandatory safety gear: All racers must have a headlamp. Helmets are required for skiers and snowboarders on downhill sections.
-
Ski responsibly: Skiers, please descend responsibly and slow down at merge points.
-
Racers only on course: Only participants with bibs are permitted to race and re-entry onto the course is not allowed after completing the race.
