Langlauf Nordic Ski Race
Sunday, January 16, 2022 | Saint John's University
Due to campus restrictions in response to the surge in COVID-19 in our region, we are postponing the Langlauf ski race. We are tentatively hoping to reschedule for a date in February. If you've already registered, you will receive a full refund. We will be in touch if we are able to schedule a new date and you can re-register at that time. The ski trails are in good shape if you're looking to ski at Saint John's on your own.
