Popular Racing COVID-19 Considerations

NENSA feels it is important to promote local and regional racing and encourage competitors to minimize the distances they travel this winter.  Many popular races traditionally have race fields less than 100 competitors and by nature allow for less skier density at a venue.  With over 20 events typically on the Zak and Club Cup calendar, there are “local” options for most of our skiers.  Competitors should carefully evaluate inter-state travel and are encouraged to be self-reliant (ie. traveling with food and limiting restaurant and convenience store visits and use of lodging outside of their state).

NENSA will work individually with Popular Race organizers to gauge safety concerns and current willingness to host events.  Many of the same considerations used for Eastern Cup and our Championship events are applicable to Popular Races.  Alternative formats such as the rolling start used by the Long Haul Loppet last winter should be encouraged as they reduce skier density and have proven popular with competitors for convenience and now safety!
