• There will be a ski & snowboard course set up for the event. 
• Run 1: Your time will count towards both Club Championships (ski only) and Fun & Glory. 
• Run 2: This will be for Fun & Glory only. 

All Fun & Glory participants will automatically be registered for Club Championships this year so there will be no extra registration on your end.
