We will be hosting the Bemidji Pursuits race. Section style format.

The Laurentian Lakes Chapter of the North Country Trail sponsors Winter Trails Day on Jan. 9 at Maplelag Resort. Activities include a group ski/snowshoe event at 1 (meet at the lodge), a presentation on “White Tail Deer Throughout the Year” by Dave Rave, DNR area wildlife manager, at 4:30 and a silent auction featuring local hand-crafted items throughout the afternoon. Guests are invited to an annual meeting and Chapter update following the presentation. Costs: dinner, $18; dinner and ski pass, $23; snowshoe pass, $3. Reservations can be made prior to Jan. 1 at llc@northcountrytrail.org or by calling Karen at 218-841-2857.

The DL Invite will be a continuous pursuit, starting with classic style and a quick change to skate at the halfway point of the race.
**The skiers may have assistance in the change over process.
**If skiers use the same set of skis for both the classic and skate race, the skier must step completely out of the ski binding in the ski transition area before they will be allowed to continue the next leg of the race.

Each leg of the race will be roughly 5 km in length.

***Varsity skiers will ski the pursuit format
***Jr. Varsity and Jr High skiers will ski only a 5 km Classic race.
