There are three events in the 2004-2005 Chest Medicine Fairbanks Distance Series:  The December Dash 7.5km/15km free technique on December 12, the Gundeloppet 10km classic/10km+10km skiathlon on January 9, and the February Frolic 15km/30km classic technique on February 20.  All events will be held in mass-start format. 

Prizes for each race and for the whole series will be provided by Raven Cross Country, and awarded by random drawing.  You receive one chance in the drawing for each Distance Series Race you enter.  All races start at 11:00am.  Entry fees are $5 for NSCF members and $10 for non-members.

Each race will offer two distances.  The December event will be a one-lap 7.5km event and a two-lap 15km event.  The January race will offer a one-lap 10km classic event and a two-lap, 10km classic + 10km free skiathlon, with equipment changeover at the midpoint of the race.  The February race will offer a short race of 10km or 15km and a long race of 15km.  Points will be awarded in the season-long NSCF race series based upon results in the longer events.
