Thank you George Pastorino for showing so much good from Project Mobility, Hal Honeyman and his family, and all the volunteers and riders. So outstanding to see children receive bikes designed just for them and their situation, riding and smiling, bikes given to them for free by the kindness and generosity of others. And it was so good for this managing editor to be out and about at this event, meeting the people who make it great!

SISU 2022 Overview

Live Racing Returns: SISU Ski Fest kicks off the return of live, in-person ski racing here in the Midwest! In a nutshell:
  • 30K SISU & 15K Heikki Lunta ski races
  • 5K Hauska Hiihto Fun Ski
  • Same race course as 2020 – with a widened start area
  • New “Finnish” Line in Ironwood’s new Downtown City Square
  • Depot Dash for kids on Friday and Fat Bike Tour on Sunday
COVID-19 Creates Uncertainty: We are planning our 2022 event to be as close as possible to our traditional weekend
format that we all know and love. However, we know there will need to be modifications due to the ongoing COVID-19
global pandemic!
The following areas will likely be impacted by masking and/or social distancing restrictions:
  • Expo and Registration at the Ironwood Memorial Building
  • Bussing to the starting line
  • Starting line warming cabins and bathrooms
  • Starting line corrals
  • “Finnish” Line bag drop pick up and changing areas
  • Food service after the race
  • Awards ceremony
We are making contingency plans for varying degrees of restrictions. Our plans will evolve according to
recommendations by our local health department and government mandates.
