Despite being postponed twice this year, once due to no snow and once due to too much snow the club open championships were finally held on 19th March.
Andrew Musgrave pipped Andrew Young for the 8.2km classic title, but Andrew Young took skate title.
Thanks to all the time keepers, marshals and the people who set up the course.
Unfortunately no pictures are available for the event.
Racers Goofing Around Afterwards
With more than 60 entries Huntly has had more people than any single event this year. The dedicated track provided a superb venue for great racing with visitors from Australia & Russia mixing with 2 ex – Olympic skiers. It is hoped that we can develop further on this with discussions taking place to have the Olympians deliver adult training weekends at the centre.
A cracking weekend of roller skiing with over 50 people at Huntly Nordic and Outdoor Centre! We’ll get a full report in the event pages but just to keep the interest here are the results and some pics.

Our Short Course Rollerski races were the inaugural event on the new Ski Centre track. We were joined by members of the GB Biathlon Development Squad.
Time trials were run over 601m & 409m courses along with head-to-head races over the 601m course. The races were very competitive & our juniors made the GB biathletes work very hard for their medals.
The day was rounded off with what is now becoming a traditional part of our events – the barbecue. Even if you didn’t take part in the races fun was be had helping out, spectating & generally socialising.
