HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY SKI RACE
SAVE THE DATE!
The 2023 Hodag Challenge cross country ski races take place January 21-22, 2023 at the Cedrig A. Vig Outdoor Classroom (CAVOC) in Rhinelander.
High School and Middle School skiers are expected to participate each day of the weekend race activities. Teams and individual skiers come from all across Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula and even Minnesota skiers have attended. An untimed Youth Race for younger skiers (5th grade and under) will be held on Saturday.
The High School course is 5 kilometers and the Middle School course is 3.3 kilometers. Both courses are very challenging with plenty of elevation changes. The width of the course is 6 meters for undulating terrain and 9 meters for uphills. The Youth course is 1.1 kilometers and utilizes a trail with less hills. Course maps are provided at the links on this page.
Saturday, January 21st - Classic Race
Varsity, JV & Middle School with Interval Starts @ 15 seconds.
Youth Race – Mass Start
Sunday, January 22nd- Freestyle (skate) Race
Varsity, JV & Middle School, pursuit back start.
The Middle School has two separate divisions, 5/6 and 7/8 grades. Due to the degree of difficulty of the trail system, we do not recommend that 4th graders be registered in the MS classes. However, we will accept 4th graders in the MS 5/6 division under the Coaches discretion.
The Youth Race is for participants typically 4th grade or younger. However, we know some MS skiers are not yet ready to ski the Hodag Challenge. Therefore, the Youth Race is also open to other MS skiers that do not ski in either of the MS categories. We say under 4th grade, but honestly we don't check ID's. The Youth Race is not timed, no registration is necessary, and no placement awards are given. We do have a treat for the participants.
REGISTRATION
The Hodag Challenge will be setup to use MileSplit and should be used by all WNSL teams. The MileSplit registration also contains questions in regards to whether a team will bring a tent, and a bus to the event to assist in our planning the event.
If you do not have a MileSplit account then you must register by filling out the Hodag Challenge Roster found at the link below.
MileSplit entries and the HC Roster are due by Tuesday, January 17th at 6:00 PM. Late entries will not be accepted and registration will automatically close at 6:00 PM on MileSplit.
