AMH Anchorage Cup Race #3
January 21, 2024
Kincaid Classic & Wooden Ski
The Kincaid Classic is a return to a simpler skiing time. A time when “skating” referred to a thing you do on ice with much pointier boots, not a powerhouse of V2. The Kincaid Classic will host a number of different events, all sponsored by the Anchorage chapter of Sons of Norway.
The Kincaid Classic part of the day will entail a traditional classic ski race, with a long, intermediate, and short distance option. There will also be a wooden ski specific race, where all racers will be encouraged to don their very finest knickers, wool sweaters, leather boots, and freshly pine-tarred wooden skis. Keep on the lookout, legend has it there be trolls afoot here! Be sure to look your finest, we will also be awarding a “best dressed” category at our traditional waffle feed award ceremony!
Kincaid Classic Special Features
Pine Tar Waxing: 8:30-10:30
Wake up to the aroma of pine tar bright and early! Sons of Norway will be offering a free pine tar wax clinic on the morning of race day. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to get your old school wooden skis prepped for the wooden ski classic race!
Wooden Ski Classic
Our last but certainly not least race for the day will be the Wooden Ski Classic race. This is a short distance race and is a chance to prove your commitment to the three-pin lifestyle. Competitors who enter this event will received a limited-edition wooden ski medal hand made on race day!
Best Dressed
It wouldn’t be the Kincaid Classic & Wooden ski without a best-dressed contest!

Waffle-thon
Our post-race celebration will feature…waffles!! Yippee! Join fellow competitors, friends, and family in the bunker following the race for waffles and fun! Following the conclusion of all races we will also be holding a brief awards ceremony, during which we will crown the best-dressed!
