Ready 2 Race
Director – Maksim Mayer
Because the philosophy of Junior Nordic is to encourage children to learn and enjoy cross country skiing as a lifetime activity, competition and racing are not the focus of the program.
Ready 2 Race is a program geared towards Junior Nordic skiers who are interested in learning more about racing by offering clinics and race support during the season. Ready 2 Race is $50 for the season, with registration opening at the same time as Junior Nordic registration. This program is recommended for Wolverines & Hawks only.
This program is great for skiers looking to participate in middle school ski team or community races, such as the AMH Anchorage Cup races. Ready 2 Race coaches provide race support at AMH Anchorage Cup races including course preview, help with waxing, answer questions, and lead warm-ups.
Ready 2 Race practices are held on Sundays from 10:30am – 12:00pm unless there is an Anchorage Cup. Locations for practice are TBD and will be subject to change so please check Remind before heading out to Practice or a Race.
