The Nelson events in this fun, something for everyone races series commence Saturday February 17th with the audience favourite “Kings Court” Open Technique Sprint Races, in front of the lodge at Apex. Then on Sunday we host Interval Start Time-Trails in Classic Technique at Busk/Clearwater, with distances ranging from 250m (Bunnies) to 14km (Masters).
We are seeking volunteers to help us make a fabulous day for the competitors and audience.
Generously sponsored by Teck Resources, the Kootenay Cup series is a shared responsibility between the Clubs in this region. Each event is 100% volunteer led and delivered, and past volunteers consistently report how much fun it is to be involved. As an added bonus, time spent volunteering at the race can help you earn credits towards your next year’s pass, and on Saturday, we’ll even provide you a lunch.
