IMPORTANT CHANGES re: Sask Cups #4 & 5

Due to the warm temperatures and winds forecast for Saskatoon on Friday and Saturday the Skiathlon Race (SASK CUP #4) is being postponed

until the next day Sunday, Feb 2nd. SASK CUP #5 planned for Sunday (Sprint Qualifications and Team Sprints) is cancelled.

The current forecast for Sunday is -4 C. Saturday’s forecast is for +7 C and windy. The hope is to conserve the snow pack and have good tracks remain for the Sunday Skiathlon. Racers and the public are requested to NOT

ski on the Wildwood Golf Course on Friday or Saturday while the temperatures are above 0 degrees. The classic track is being removed today and will be reset later on Saturday once the temperatures drop.

Course, Saskatoon are as follows:

Race Office Opens: 8:30 AM

SASK CUP #4, Skiathlon Start Time: 11:00 AM

because of the postponement and changes can e-mail their change information
