Pictures of the USCANCUP
The USCANCUP is a University event and will consequently be closed for the general public.
However, a 4 hour enduro (from 6.00 pm to 10.00 pm) Saturday night November 26th will be organised and open for (the general public) for SOLO or teams of 2,4 or 6.
A heated tent will serve as a transition area as well as a feeding zone. What an incredible way to start your season.
The race will take place at Forêt Montmorency, near Quebec City. Nested at 670 meters above sea level, the snow conditions there are exceptional: The best kept secret in the industry! We usually start skiing at the beginning of November. The site of the race is also equipped to produce artificial snow. You can, thus, if the weather is cold enough but the natural snow cover insufficient, plan to have a 1 km loop on artificial snow. The USCANCUP is sanctioned by Ski de fond Québec. This casual event will allow you to get a good start on your season and give good indications to coaches and racers for the athlete's potential. Waxing clinics will be held at night, right after dinner, by the best in the industry. A silent auction will also take place during the weekend as a fundraiser for the Rouge et Or Club. Bring your cash and credit cards to take advantage of some of the best deals! On Friday November 25th, we will hold mass start classic style races. All women categories will race for 5k and all men categories for 10K. On Saturday November 26th, there will be individual start free style races. The distances will be 5K for all women categories and 10K for all men categories. . IMPORTANT NOTICE If there is insufficient natural snow to hold the distance races (5K and 10K), some artificial snow could be made on a 1K course. In this event, sprint races (1K) would be held instead of the distance races on both days of competition (Saturday in classic and Sunday in free style). However, artificial snow production depends on weather conditions and it’s not guaranteed that it can be produced.
