?Ǭ†Who is Ullr (Ooler)?
Ullrllr is the name given to the Nordic God of Skis. Every winter he descends from the north country to show his skill on the mountain slopes. When winter is over, however, Ullr retreats northward before the Spring thaw. On March 10th, 2007, Utah State University Campus Recreation and Nordic United will be hosting a 40K cross-country ski race in the heart of northern Utah’s beautiful Bear River Range. This race provides a chance to match skill to skill as contestants chase Ullr in his northward retreat.
Thanks to the generous sponsors in 2006 there were $600 of cash prizes awarded to overall and gender/age group winners and equipment. We expect as many donations as last year, if not more, and anyone who enters the race will receive a drawing ticket for a chance to win outdoor requipment at the awards banquet.
The course starts and ends up Logan Canyon approximately 25 miles from Logan proper. The starting line is in Franklin Basin and the finish is at the Beaver Creek Campground Parking Lot, just down the road from Beaver Mountain Ski Resort.
