Snow has arrived in New England, and so has the racing season. The Zak Cup was supposed to kick off with the Quarry Road Opener, but due to the lack of snow in 2016, our first Zak Cup will be the Gunstock Skate Race this Saturday January 7th. Please click here to review the Zak Cup Points and rules for Zak Cup Scoring. All Zak Cups have registration on skireg, with an option to sign up as a NENSA member or as a Non NENSA member. Only those who have registered as NENSA members will be scored with Zak Cup points. If you have not signed up in the correct category please contact the race organizer to be changed.
NENSA members who participate in at least two Zak Cup races or Marathon Series Races will be automatically entered in a raffle to win a TWO NIGHT STAY at the Trapp Family Lodge! After the minimum of two races, each additional Zak Cup or Marathon Series race you enter you will get another entry into the raffle. Each race series will have a winner!
