On January 9, 2010, the Cayuga Nordic Ski Club will hold its annual 10k ski race at Hammond Hill State Forest. A map of the race course is attached. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has approved this race and course grooming under a Temporary Revocable Permit. The trails will not be officially closed, but non-racers are asked to preserve the set tracks, yield the trail to racers as they pass, and to follow instructions of course marshals. It would really be best for all if the public would use alternate trails at least until all racers have started and then to ski in the same direction as the racers.

Racing will begin at 10:30 AM and all racers are expected to have started by 11 AM and to be off the course by 12:30 PM. The main race will be a 10k Empire State Games qualifier. The general public is invited to participate in a 5k citizens’ race, a 5k scholastic race, and a 1k kids’ race. Details and on-line registration are at nyssranordic.com. Day-of registration is from 8:30 to 10:00AM on January 9 at the ski hut. The entry fee for the citizens’ races will be $10, to cover costs and insurance.
