⏱ Start Options

We will have a mass start per distance. Sometimes we start more than one distance together, so pay attention to the schedule for this event. We also leave the start line open for a little while longer for those who want to avoid the mass start, enjoy a more casual entry onto the course, and don’t care about overall awards.

🏁 Timing and Scoring

• Gun Time: This is the time from the mass start (when the starter officially starts your distance) until when you cross the finish line.
• Chip Time: This is the time from when you actually cross the start line until the time you cross the finish line.
• Award Rankings: All rankings and awards will be based on gun time only.
• Results Tracking: If you begin after the Mass Start, you can see your chip time in the results.

📅 Event Schedule

👧 Youth Mile

The Youth Mile will be starting at 6:30pm on the dot. We will ride the chairlift as a group at 6:15 up to the top of Spider Mt, and run the course downhill to the finish line. A parent is required to ride the chairlift with their child to the start of the mile, NO EXCEPTIONS. We want this event to be fun and safe for everyone, therefore we will have volunteers guide children along the course so that parents do not have to run the mile down and can catch them at the finish line.
