14th annual SISU Ski Fest is Saturday January 7, 2023! Folks can register at https://runsignup.com/Race/MI/IRONWOOD/SisuSkiFest.

This premier cross country ski race includes an exciting weekend of activities. Racing centers around the signature 30K SISU, along with the 15K Heikki Lunta. The 5K Fun Ski is there for those who want to participate without racing.

The SISU race course begins at ABR Trails and ends in downtown Ironwood. Racers can expect well groomed trails that pass through forested landscapes, ups and downs among rocky outcrops, gentle sections along the Montreal River and a former railroad grade, and a few twists and turns through the Miners Memorial Heritage Park before the final K to the “Finnish” line in the Downtown City Square.

Gather back at the Ironwood Memorial Building for pasties and awards.  Celebrate the achievements at the SISU Party with live music and cash bar at the Historic Ironwood Theatre Saturday night.

Sisu is a Finnish cultural concept encompassing strength and determination in the face of adversity. It involves a combination of stamina, perseverance, courage, and determination held in reserve for hard times.
