Starting on Friday 21 February 2014, (wow 2014 already) Hayward Wisconsin will again be holding the American Birkebeiner cross country ski marathon. Friday the 21st will feature the Barkie Birkie Skijor Fun Race. Two races are held, a 3k novice run and a 5k advance run. (Maya and I will be in the 3k, we can be identified as the happy husky towing the dead fat guy across the finish line) Seeing as how Hayward is in the middle of no where Northern Wisconsin I understand this only applies to a few members, but what the hey.
Coincidentally, the name sake marathon is 54k, 50k, and 23k, so this is a pretty grueling marathon.

Please check out the web site www.birkie.com and read up a little on the Norwegian history of the race and to see pictures of last year Barkie Burkie. Maybe I'll see one of you there! (remember, dead fat guy).
