Young Nordics compete in Teck Northern Cup Race

More than 60 competitors sign up for Teck Northern Cup Race

Young Nordic skiers from across B.C. converged on 100 Mile House Saturday for the Teck Northern Cup Race No. 3.

Sixty-six skiers from 100 Mile, Quesnel, Williams Lake, Prince George, Vanderhoof, Kamloops and Mackenzie signed up for the fun race at the 99 Mile ski trails. Hosted by the 100 Mile Nordics, it’s the first race held in years for the club, which had once been a top contender on the race circuit.

Organizers hope they can boost interest in racing in 100 Mile. In the 1980s, local Nordics were regular winners of the BC Cup, which the club hopes they can one day bring back to the community. The Cariboo Marathon, which started in 1966 and was the second-biggest race of its kind in the ’70s, drew thousands of racers to 100 Mile every year.
