#25KinMay Returns for the 3.0 Edition

April 29, 2022 by Justin Beckwith

NENSA’s first Virtual Rollerski Event is back for the 3rd year!

SUBMIT YOUR ENTRIES HERE

Back by popular demand, this is the event that gets people thinking about rolling every spring.  We want to shift the paradigm of rollerski from being just a training mechanism — reach out to friends or connect with new ones to plan an adventure.  Ever see a road that was just calling for a ski?  Or maybe there is a bike path that you had always wanted to check out.  We want you to challenge yourself and utilize rollerskis as a fun tool and build the social energy of our summertime programs.  We love the stories we’ve shared for the past two years!

#25KinMay is free  – simply get out there and report your ski (or ski walking or biking) data to us here.  The event is for everyone and based primarily on participation.  There will be raffle prizes and awards for fast times, exceptional routes and reporting.  The number one rule remains: BE SAFE out there.  Skiers must select terrain suitable for their skill level.

//Rollerski Safety Rules//

NENSA’s mission is to provide excitement to our broader cross country skiing community and continue the momentum of NENSA’s Rollerski Programming.   We look forward to unveiling our 2022 Rollerski Race Series this month and visiting clubs throughout the East this summer!

Recruit friends to join you – use #25KinMay for motivation to get rolling!

As part of the Challenge we encourage you to develop your network on the Pastimes app (https://www.pastimes.io/). Download the app, join the NENSA Group, or create your own.

Entries can be submitted at any point between May 1st and May 31st.  NENSA will display and showcase activities throughout the challenge — videos and pictures are encouraged with each event submission as well as tagging @nensa_nordic and #25KinMay on your own socials.  Skiers can enter multiple times.

Again there is no cost for #25KinMay
but we are encouraging membership by continuing the promotion we started last year
ALL NENSA MEMBERSHIP
in May is $25 ! ! ! 

As an added bonus each entry will receive one raffle ticket (two tickets if you have renewed your 2022 NENSA membership) towards a growing prize pool. Membership renewal HERE.

Our 2022 categories will be:

Rockstar: For folks who want to ski the full 25km in one go.  Participants will be listed by pace per K.

Speedy Repeater: For someone who wants to break up 25km into more manageable pieces. We’ll track your K’s through the month.

My Own Pace or “Let’s Walk”: This is the touring class or for folks who might not be comfortable on rollerskis and want to ski walk (or bike).

BKL: rollerski (ski walk or bike) 10k in May whether in one go or split up into multiple segments

Keep Up With Beckwith: This category is geared towards masters skiers to keep pace with our Competitive Program Director as he challenges himself to 250km of skiing throughout the month

SUBMIT YOUR ENTRIES HERE

Be creative and share your story.  The training season has begun – Let’s Have Fun!!

Sharing some photos of XC Ski Bingo players out ex Sharing some photos of XC Ski Bingo players out exploring, adventuring, and trying new things on their skis! The Telstar Middle School team is doing Bingo together as a team and came up with a new activity where they linked arms in groups of 4 and skied down a hill completing a big turn at the bottom! Maybe we'll have to add that to next year's Bingo card... And check out that exciting backyard jump! 

If you haven't already, you can print your own Bingo card and get playing! For more details and card downloads click see the link in bio. Also, if you've completed Bingo, remember to upload your card (also at the link in bio) before February 1st if you'd like to be included in our next raffle!
