Area Voices: 38th MN Finlandia Ski Marathon

Cross Country skiers from across the planet will converge on Bemidji this weekend to compete in the 38th MN Finlandia Ski Marathon.  Mike Huerbin has been race director for the event for 20 years.  In this Area Voices segment, he breaks down the various races skiers can compete in, the various events happening around the races and he shares history of the race which, at one time, was a two day, 100k event! The public is invited to cheer on the racers north of Bemidji at Buena Vista ski resort tomorrow.  If you want to compete, you can still sign up!  Check out the MN Finlandia 2020 websitefor more information.
