Skiers of all ages competed Sunday in Glacier Nordic Club’s Glacier Glide.
The annual race was moved to the Dog Creek Lodge and Nordic Center in Olney because of a bigger snow base there for setting classic tracks. The race is typically held at Whitefish Lake Golf Club.
The race has a pursuit format, which includes both classic and skate races for a combined time. The short pursuit includes a 3K classic and 3K freestyle race and the longer pursuit race included a 10K classic and a 15K freestyle race.
Racers can also choose to race in either skate or classic, and a 1K was also held.
