Sask Cup 1 and 2 - La Ronge - December 17 and 18 - POSTPONED

Sask Cup 1 and 2 scheduled for La Ronge this weekend has been postponed.  See below for a message from the club.

We have decided to postpone Sask Cup 1 and 2 until Saturday, January 21 and Sunday, January 22, 2023.

The forecasted temperatures for Saturday, December 17 are too cold for U12 and under and borderline for the older racers. The forecasted temperatures for Sunday, December 18 are too cold for all racers. We hope that the weather cooperates for us to hold a Tier 2 event in January.

An updated race notice will be distributed in the New Year. For those wanting a refund and are not able/willing to attend the races on January 21 and 22, please email gabe.andrews@usask.ca to make a formal request.

*We are scheduled to host SWG Team North Trials on Saturday, January 21. We will now combine the trials with the Sask. Cup race on Saturday, January 21.
