Glacier Glide Race
Saturday • January 6, 2024
UPDATE: RACE CANCELED FOR 2024
Date: Saturday, January 6th, 2024
The Glide has been held in Whitefish at the Glacier Nordic Center at the Whitefish Lake Golf Course since 1983. Races are at separate times so participants will have the opportunity to race both skate and classic with separate awards for each. There will also be a 1k freestyle option and a kids cookie race. The price for all races includes a post-race lunch of chili and mac and cheese. Non-racers can buy lunch for $7.
This race is a fluoro-free event. Read more about our Fluorocarbon Wax Policy.
This race is part of the new Montana Nordic Cup series. Receive points for both races.
Events
1k freestyle race (classic or skate)
3.5k skate and classic races (Compete for combined time top 3 by doing both via the Junior Pursuit Viking Challenge!)
10k skate and classic races (Compete for combined time top 3 by doing both via the Pursuit Viking Challenge!)
Kids cookie scramble
NO 20k Skate this year due to needed alteration of course. The Pursuit Viking Challenge is completing the 10k Classic and 10k Skate, and calculating the overall combined time for the top 3 winners. The Junior Pursuit Viking Challenge is completing the 3.5k classic and 3.5k skate. Please sign up for the Challenge if you are planning to complete both races. (Montana Cup Points will be given off of individual race times. If you sign up for either pursuit challenge, you will get points of off individual race times.)
