Fun Race #1

By Don Kiely, Race Director

It took several tries in the face of poor trail conditions and frigid temperatures, but we finally were able to have Fun Race #1 at Creamer’s Field. The forecast the day before called for highs in the 0 to 15 above range, but Fairbanks awoke this morning to temperatures in the low 30s, rising to almost 40 during the races. And a chilly wind, to boot. Egads! Nevertheless, we had a great turnout and everyone seems to have had a great time! We even had several first time skijor racers, all of whom crossed the finish line with a big smile.

A big thanks to the volunteers who made the race happen: Don Kiely, race director; Andy Warwick and Eleanor Wertz, timers; Matt Sprau, timing board and handler.
