    Annual Hayward Lions Pre-Birkie

    Birkie Trail, Hayward, WI 54843

    Event has been postponed from 2/13/2021 due to extreme cold weather temperatures.

    This Lions Club Fundraiser and FUN race has no equal when it comes to preparing one mentally and physically for the American Birkebeiner. In other words, once you have completed the Pre-Birkie you will have the confidence to take on the mother of all XC marathon races, the American Birkebeiner.

    The race will start and end at Birkie Ridge Trail Head, north of Seeley on Hwy 63.  The short course will go to OO and back, and the long course will go to Gravel Pit Road and back.  Skiers will be able to start on a staggered, socially-distanced basis.

    Every skier will receive a special Pre-Birkie sweatshirt. Come and enjoy the day with the Hayward Lions at our Pre-Birkie the “Best Birkie prep race in the Midwest”.
