A belated thanks to state parks ranger Russell Travis and Jim Stanford for their preparation of trail work and improvements at 25 Mile ahead of the Miles Klehini Ski Classic. The 10K course at the new memorial hut was set beautifully and fast, thanks to Russell and Jim. Special thanks go out to all our volunteers who make this annual event possible. Thanks also to individuals, businesses and organizations who donated prizes including Haines Brewery, SEARHC, Haines Distillery, Haines Packing, Katie Wendell, Sockeye Cycle, Sarah J’s, Alaska Backcountry Outfitter, and Fairweather Ski Works. Your contributions were very generous and appreciated. The course at 25 Mile should still be a great place for healthy exercise while “social distancing.”

Dan Egolf, for the Haines Ski and Hike Club
