Utah Cross Country Ski Race Calendar
Below is the schedule for cross country ski races in Utah and vicinity that are popular with local cross country skiers. For more information about cross country ski racing in Utah, check the The Utah Nordic Alliance (TUNA) website, or send email to me at hanscom 'at' cs 'dot' utah 'dot' edu.
The premier Utah events are the five Wasatch Citizens Series races. The series is held at the major cross country ski areas in the Salt Lake vicinity. It consists of two classical technique and three free technique events. There are twenty age groups for each gender, plus recreational/novice classes for both adults and juniors. In addition, there are expert classes for University and US Ski Team skiers and those who enjoy competing with skiers at that level, as well as sit ski classes.

3/8/26 - Final Wasatch Citizens Series race scheduled for Feb 28 at White Pine changed to "ski your own race" due to lack of snow everywhere except Soldier Hollow, which is busy every Sat with college races that have been moved there due to lack of snow in Bozeman.
1/13/26 - Second Wasatch Citizens Series race postponed from Jan 10 to Feb 28.
10/13/25 - First draft and still preliminary. Let me know about any errors, changes, or additional information.
