Fairbanks welcomes nation’s top young cross-country skiers

Hundreds of the best young cross-country skiers in the nation are converging on Fairbanks this weekend for the Junior National Cross-Country Ski Championships.

This is the fifth time that the Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks has hosted the event over the last 45 years.

Check out the website nordicinsights.news for all the details on the Junior National ski races in Fairbanks.

“This year’s Junior Nationals start in Fairbanks, Alaska, on Monday, March 13, with a 7.5-kilometer interval-start classic race for all gender and age groups. Fairbanks in mid-March is typically paradise for a nordic skier, albeit paradise with some chilly mornings, and this year should be no exception,” Nordic Insights reports.
