Built for Speed Event Series - Southern Alberta - Event Information 2013-14

 
a new event series for southern alberta cross country ski clubs
 
 
 
Built for Speed (B4S) is a new event series aimed at cross country ski clubs in southern Alberta.  The series aims to meet the developmental needs of all clubs in our region.  The series is built on the following ideas:
 
  • aimed at minimidget and midget age skiers
  • differentiated events- B4S events will be designated as one of two event types:
    • open event - aimed at all skiers in the identified age groups
    • development event - aimed at novice racers - registration for these events will be based on club coach's recommendations - development events are aimed at kids who dont have alot of experience as racers.  e.g. if a young skier competes in the alberta cup series, the development events are not aimed at you
  • multiple events on one day - B4S events aim to include more than one competition on a race day  - e.g. a distance race and a downhill race, or a uphill race and a relay
Target clubs - all clubs who have minimidget or midget age skiers - including but not limited to:
 
XC Bragg Creek
Brooks Cross Country Ski Club
Calgary Ski Club
Calgary Nordic Training Group
Bow Waters Jackrabbits
Foothills Nordic Ski Club
