Great Caribou Bog Race postponed ; It is with regret that the race organizers for this event have had to postpone the race to February 8th, due to lack of snow. We need a minimum of 4 more inches to make the race terrain feasible for classic racing, and only 1-2” is expected this week. We realize most teams will have conference racing that day. We are obviously disappointed in the lack of cooperation by mother nature. We hope to invite other teams again next year. Thanks for your interest
