Join us on January 8th for a skate-ski race on the Saint John’s Arboretum trails.  This race is open to Nordic skiers of all ages and abilities, from recreational to competitive.  The goal is to host a fun, competitive, outdoor event for the community, as well as raise money for the CSB/SJU Nordic Ski student team.   The proceeds will be used by the team for race entry fees, travel costs, wax, and other costs that may not be covered in their budget.  Hot post-event beverages will be provided by the Saint Ben's Alumnae Office and the Saint John's Alumni Office.  Also, the Refectory at Saint John's will be available for those interested in having lunch after the event.

The goals of the new CSB/SJU Nordic Ski Alumni club are to: “Promote Nordic skiing and foster a competitive athletic spirit amongst its members; educate and encourage members of the CSB/SJU community to experience all that Nordic skiing has to offer; and endorse the importance of taking pride in being an athlete as well as a student.” The Nordic Ski Alumni Club was created for alumni to share our love of Nordic skiing and to support the club team while they transition into their new role in the campus communities.
