Over 700 racers, from kids to pros, will hit the hills east of Traverse City in one of the region's most spirited displays of cross-country skiing finesse.
Skiers choose short or long courses and between classic or freestyle skiing.
On Sunday, Applebee's will host Family Fun Day out on the trail. Not too shabby. At the web site you can also find trail conditions and weather reports for waxing information. Packet pick-up for racers will be held here on Friday, January 14. Stick around, buy a raffle ticket to benefit the trail grooming and maintenance.
