Local Clubs Unite in First Virtual Challenge

Adam Terko and his Mansfield Nordic Club are leading the way with innovative programming as we head into a new training season.  Athletes were challenged to:

“Run your own uphill test, on foot, as fast as you can. The requirements for this test?
-Race must finish higher than it started: a net elevation gain. No minimum or maximum on the elevation gained…it can even finish just going up your driveway if that’s higher than the surrounding road!”  Full Details on Mansfield Site

All told 41 folks took part over three days and representing seven states or provinces, and seven clubs!

A few result highlights:

Most Elevation Silas Brown Mansfield Nordic 2803
Most feet-per-mile Theodore Mollano Dublin XC 2833.3
Longest run Andy Grab Mansfield Nordic 12.2
Shortest run Theodore Mollano Dublin XC 0.03

You can read more and see some fun photos on the MNC website here.  Bravo to all – we are adapting and thriving!

Don’t forget we are in the fourth day of the NENSA #25KinMAY Rollerski Challenge – there are currently over thirty competitors and participants signed up – our first goal – to ski 2,500 kilometers together!   Competitors have already completed challenges from North Carolina, Michigan, Ontario and throughout New England.

Anyone can join us – Great Prizes including rollerskis and poles from Swix, Swenor, Enjoy Winter and Salomon.

Thank you to our valued NENSA Partners
