The event starts at 6:00 pm and features a completely lighted 5K loop on the nordic ski trails. All events start near the ski chalet at the Iola Winter Sports Club. The 5K loop features a combination of the blue, green and black marked trails on the nordic ski system. The course is comprised of rolling terrain in wide groomed and relatively fast terrain.
