The traditional Fisherman’s Picnic Run at Pincushion (hosted by the North Superior Ski and Run Club) will be an in-person event this year.
It’s anybody’s guess as to who will race. A couple of years ago, Joe Klecker won the Tofte Trek fivemile race and today he is an Olympian, representing the U.S. in Tokyo in the 10,000-meter run. Will this year’s Fisherman’s Picnic trail race winner, either male or female, go on to do great things in the sport? Maybe, maybe not. It’s a fun run, after all, but there have been some serious runners who have showed up and competed in our local trail races.
One big change is that there is no same day registration.
This year, you need to pre-register for the event on-line to participate in the running or walking races on August 7. Pre-registration will close at 6 p.m. on August 6. No exceptions.
The NSSRC has been mowing the Pincushion trails this summer, so the course is ready.
Pre-registration will be held through Friday, August 6 at 6 p.m. No exceptions! Packet pickup begins at 8 a.m. on August 7 at the Pincushion chalet. Planned schedule of events: 9 a.m.– kids races
