Iron County Pursuit Announces Changes

Formerly known as the Stormy Kromer Pursuit, isnow the Iron County Pursuit! Organizers have made a few changes but will keep the pursuit format, the electronic timing and overall feel of the race! Some changes participants will notice are the name, a simplified registration form, and more informative and will be available earlier this year. The team division has been eliminated the . If the pursuit format just isn't your thing, organizers invite you to take part in a one day race, but you will not receive a pursuit time or award. Another obvious change is there will be no Stormy Kromer hats this year. However, participants will receive a technical Nordic ski hat - a one-size-fits-all hat that features a fleece liner, tassle and is made of polyester micro fiber.

Additionally, several fun awards have been added to the lineup. Awards will be offered to the Fastest Youth Under 15, Youngest Skier, Oldest Skier, Best Retro Ski Outfit, Fastest Skier With Wooden Skis and Longest Haul Award.

Information on the event can also be found on Facebook where there will be race updates, photos and general event conversations. Search for IronCountyPursuit.
