Events
Touring Class
The Touring Class is only available for the 50K Classic Marathon. This class is meant to be for people who are more interested in a casual skiing experience rather than a competitive race. Skiers in the 50K classic touring class will begin 40 minutes prior to their respective competitive ski race. Skiers in the touring class will not be eligible for age category or overall results prizes.
Change of Events
If slots are available requests to change races are handled by the Race Administrator. Email info@noquemanon.com or 866-370-RACE prior to January 24th. Changes after the 24th will be accommodated at the Expo, Jan 27th, with a $10 change request fee.
NO changes on Wednesday the 25th, Thursday, 26th or on race day.
Preferred Start Positions
To be considered for higher wave placement, you must have skied in last year’s Noquemanon or petition in. Results from Noquemanon 2011 will be used as a guideline. Petitions must be submitted in writing two weeks in advance of race. Contact the Race Administrator via email at info@noquemanon.com or call 866-370-RACE.
Cut off Times
All marathon skiers must pass the 30K point of the race by 2 pm. All skiers must finish the race by 4:30 pm.
Finish Line
The marathon ends at the Superior Dome so come inside, warm up, check in your skis at the ski valet, and rejuvenate at the last aid station. Race results will be posted inside the Superior Dome, plus computers will be set up so that you can check race results. Race results will also appear in the Sunday edition of the Mining Journal and on-line at www.noquemanon.com.
