Solstice 100 Canceled

Due to open water, thin ice and scant snow, the Solstice 100, scheduled for 29 and 30 December, has been canceled. We can not put on a safe race with the current conditions.

We’re hoping for better conditions for next month’s Hamburger Run and the Two River 200 in March. Stay tuned.
