Hanz's Big Adventure is a trials-format race for kids up to 100 years old. Venue is the McCabe Trails at Liberty Bell High School. You guess how long it will take you to do your chosen course and enter your time here when you register. All you know ahead of time are the approximate distance of the courses you can choose from--1, 2.5, or 5 km. On the day of Hanz's Big Adventure you then ski that course--or a different one if you change your mind, but your predicted time can't change. The skier who comes closest to guessing their actual time will be the winner. Skiers may not look at a watch or get advice from others while on course. You may do skate or classic technique, it doesn't matter. The main thing is to ski and have fun! There will be zany obstacles along the way to make the courses more interesting. All skiers will wear bib numbers and start at the same time.
Registration is FREE, but you must register online by 6 pm Jan 10th. There is no registration on the day of the Adventure. If you are a biathlete, please register by Thursday night, Jan 9 so that we can plan range logistics. Please feel free to register even if you are uncertain you will actually come--it is easy to delete your entry later.
Please check in and receive your bib at the McCabe Trails stadium from 10:45am to 11:30 am. Biathletes should plan on getting their bib promptly at 10:45am and be ready to set up the range and zero at 11am. Hanz's Big Adventure starts at 12:00 PM. Awards will follow after the last skier finishes. Everybody will get something, and a Traveling Trophy will be awarded to the overall winner.
