Frozen Forester triathlon is Saturday

Hardy northern folk are encouraged to participate in the Frozen Forester Winter Triathlon on Saturday, March 2 at Pine Valley Recreation Area in Cloquet.

Explore the Pine Valley trails with a 6.8-mile ski, 4.6-mile pedal, and a 3.1-mile no-shoe/snowshoe run. The event consists of two laps on the Pine Valley ski trail, two laps on the new mountain bike trail, and it starts at 9 a.m. The Frozen Forester 5K race starts at 11 a.m. and follows the Frozen Forester’s ribbon line through the woods off- and on-trail. There is a relay option for those who want to share the adventure with a friend.

Cost to register for either event is $10. Both events finish with a sip of Forester Soup, and there is a 2-minute time deduction (bonus) for wearing flannel and bringing a can of soup, Krohn said.

Family time for all is free for everyone from noon to 3 p.m. Hiking and snowshoeing are allowed on the bike trail. (No hiking or snowshoeing on the ski trail.) Concessions will be available in the chalet from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Register at Facebook/frozenforester or in person on the morning of the race at 8 a.m. at the chalet for the triathlon or 10 a.m. for the 5K.
