The inaugural Mike Seaman Memorial 10k Classic, originally scheduled for Sunday 2/4/18, has been canceled due to low snow conditions. In lieu of the event, Team NordicSkiRacer suggests going for a ski in Mike's honor on Sunday.
Going into this 50K Freestyle at the Noquemanon, I had one main thread in mind: Prepare to reserve energy. The strategy I used in those days carried me well this weekend.
Wax recommendations for upcoming races: Noquemanon Ski Marathon
The first Great Bear Chase took place in 1981 and Richard Clark was there. This year marks the 36th annual ski marathon and Richard Clark plans to be there, just as he has for every Great Bear Chase.

Many if not most of the skiers double-poled the entire course, eschewing kick wax for better glide and faster times.
The men's 15k race was close - very close, with a sprint to the finish by the top three men.
