Lack of snow was not an issue at the 2017 Kenai Klassic, held on the Kenai Golf Course.
Skiers competed in a combined classic/skate format event with the girls completing an 8.8 kilometer course and the boys a 10K course. Each skier raced a classic leg, changed gear in a transition area and skied a skate leg.
Kenai’s Ithaca Bergholtz and Soldotna’s Josh Shuler turned in the fastest combined times in their respective races.
