Registering for either LSC course gives each student a guaranteed entry into either the American Birkebeiner or the Kotelopet race on Saturday, February 23, 2008 in the Cable/Hayward, Wisconsin area. To maintain flexibility for distant learners, students may also complete the course requirements by training for and skiing a comparable race at a different location (NOTE: the special fee is charged to all students, but a guaranteed, paid race entry is only available for the Birkebeiner or Kortelopet).
