OFF TO THE RACES
Junior Noque racers competing in the 3-kilometer classic race take off from the starting line Friday afternoon at the Forestville Trailhead in Marquette. Racers ages 8 to 13 competed in the classic race which took around 15 minutes to complete. A 5K classic race and 3K freestyle race also took place Friday. The 1K classic for skiers ages 7 and under was canceled due to cold temperatures. Races will continue on Saturday and Sunday, with the main cross-country skiing races today and a snowbike race, Animoosh Skijor, and snowshoe races Sunday at the Forestville Trailhead.
