Equipment
Wearing eye protection and a safety helmet is mandatory for all participants.
You race on Swenor Alutech roller skis hired from the organiser at £8.00 per set. For under 18's it will cost just £4.00 as LRNSC is subsidising 50% of this cost. No other roller skis are allowed.
The majority of roller skis will be fitted with Prolink bindings and a limited number with SNS bindings - you confirm which you need during the entry process.
Any para nordic skiers who are unable to use the Alutech skis may use their own equipment.
You use your own boots, poles and protective gear. If you have neither SNS nor Prolink-compatible boots, you may borrow these free of charge from LRNSC but please tell us your size if you need these.
NB Rollerski UK will be selling off the Swenor Alutech roller skis after this event at the highly discounted price of £175 [normally £274] - buy them here.
