Besh Cup Race Series

The Besh Cup Race Series is the premier cross country skiing competition series in Alaska. Each of the six races in the series draws approximately 300 entries from all parts of the state.

Note that refunds cannot be given for cancelled races.  All of the expenses  involved in putting on a race have been incurred prior to race day.  Thus giving refunds would be financially crippling to CCAK and the clubs involved.
