Jr. Noque – A New Look, A New Place

The Jr. Noque will expand and relocate this year. Taking place on Friday, January 25, the race for kids and teens will take place at the new Forestville trailhead. New lighted loops, a new pole barn building with wax area, and a new stadium area will enhance the Jr. Noque. Not only will these trails provide better ski conditions for the skiers, but also provides better spectator areas for friends and families. Parents will be permitted to ski along with junior skiers.

Jr. Noque registration is available in advance at the Chamber of Commerce in Marquette. Day of race registration is at the Forestville Trailhead polebarn from 3 - 5pm on January 25th. Advance registration is strongly preferred. Registration is included in Superiorland Cross Country Ski Club youth program registration (Ski Cats, Rec, Devo and Race Teams).
