Yesterday we hosted the Valley cup at Ole’s in Warren. This is one of the oldest races in Vermont with a 37 year history. There is a very cool trophy with the names of the winners, which includes Olympians, Mike Gallagher, Bob Gray and now, Garrott Kuzzy! We had an awesome field of skiers show up, including Ford Sayre and Frost Mountain Nordic. There were 35 men and 9 women in the 10km and 8 skiers in the 5km Junior Event. We also hosted a BKL Race, pictures and results available on the MRV Club Website!
