Register for Marathon
Registration for the Cariboo Marathon Gold Rush cross-country ski event, scheduled for Feb. 9 in 100 Mile House, is now available, online at www.zone4.ca.
In-person registration is Feb. 8 from 3 to 9 p.m. at the race site. The event offers 10-, 20-, 30- and 50-kilometre distances, suitable for all interests and abilities. The Hurdy Gurdy Prospectors’ Costume Dance follows the day of skiing and features a “Best Beard” contest and cash prizes.
The 100 Mile Nordics club sponsors the event.
Juvenile curling zones
100 Mile Curling Club hosts the 2013 Tim Hortons BC Juvenile Curling Zone Playdowns on Jan. 8 at the club rink.
Both girls’ and boys’ teams will compete for the privilege to move on to the provincial competition, slated for the Prince George Golf and Curling Club, March 7-10.
100 Mile House is expected to enter teams in both categories, so plan to drop by the rink to cheer them on.
