What happens if someone skates in a classic race?
Skiers caught skating in Michigan Cup classic race will be disqualified from the race. As this is a recreational race series for the benefit of all, skiers that do use skate technique in a classical race are asked to disqualify themselves by notifying the race organizers. If a racer is disqualified by the race director, they are automatically disqualified for Brumbaugh, Baic, and Michigan Cup points for that race. If a racer is not disqualified by the race director, but are disqualified by the Michigan Cup Committee, they are automatically disqualified for Brumbaugh, Baic, and Michigan Cup points for that race. To report someone who is skating in a classic race, submit a written statement to the race director. This does not have to be fancy – the back of a napkin with what you saw works fine. Any details you can provide will be helpful. If necessary, submit a written statement to the Michigan Cup Committee. Best bet is to give a written note to Ernie Brumbaugh or send him an e-mail at
