4 Mile madcap:

PURSE: $ 1,000

The trails will be in excellent shape as long as we have snow this year and as Environment Canada predicts, this will be another year of above average snow fall. All trails will be groomed for racing, they all have been widened in able to use the large snowmobile groomer, this means trails will be nine to twelve feet wide.

All races will start from Marmora fairgrounds and will be a sleeping bag start, a BIG crowd-pleaser

The trail will be a 4 mile bush trail, 2 miles out, loop and return.

The race will be run in multiple waves so you can enter more than one team

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
