RESULTS

‍

Introducing the first ever Sunset Hills Freestyle Sprint Circus. Using the King's Court sprint format (see below), every racer will compete in a qualifier (racing against the clock, and starting one at a time) plus THREE sprint heats on a 1.2km loop. It should be exciting, fun, and probably a bit of a circus.

All ages and abilities - heats will be determined by qualifier time so participants will always be racing against others of similar speed, regardless of age or gender.

WHEN?

Saturday, January 4

9 a.m. Start

‍

THE COURSE

3.5 KM Climb: Start at the 1-mile marker on the groomed trail up Bozeman Creek/Sourdough. Finish at the outhouse.

6.5 KM Climb: Start at the 1-mile marker on the groomed trail up Bozeman Creek/Sourdough. Finish at the bridge.

Then enjoy a relaxed downhill ski back to the trailhead. Please keep it slow and controlled around other skiers on the descent! We'll have snacks and hot drinks for racers at the trailhead!

PARKING

Skiers should park at the water treatment plant, 7024 Sourdough Canyon Road, and take the BSF van shuttle to the trailhead--about 1/2 a mile. This is part of our permit requirement, and it will alleviate parking issues at the trailhead.

REGISTRATION

Pre-registration (online) required by 7:30 a.m. day of race. No on-site registration.

$15

Find a relay partner and team up for this fun course on skis. Costumes highly encouraged.
