The Noquemanon Ski Marathon is a non profit event that serves as a fundraiser for the Noquemanon Trail Network. The race committee works very hard to keep event prices down while also having the capacity to follow through on our financial commitments and moving trail improvement projects forward. We are committed to offering a unique and high quality event at one of the lower price-points available for an event of this size and length. Thank you for your continued support and we are looking forward to our 25th annual event on January 27th and 28th 2023!

Wave Placement Availability
Registrants in the 50K and 24K will self select waves using prior Noquemanon results, up until the wave fills, when registering on-line. Final wave placement will be subject to verification and race director discretion and early registration is strongly encouraged and spots in waves are filling fast. Don't wait until in-person registration at the dome the night before as you may not have many choices at that point!

New skiers to the Noquemanon who wish to begin in Elite Wave 1 (50K, 24K) must petition for wave 1 placement when registering on-line. If the wave you want is full when you go to register you must petition in on the registration site.

As of 11/28/22 this is the availability in the waves:

5OK Classic:
Wave 1 - 54
Wave 2 - 66

Noteworthy Updates For 2023
The race committee is always working towards a better event experience for participants. These are the key updates to be aware of for 2023:

Trail improvements: Work is ongoing in several areas of the course including a new re-routed section approximately 18K from the start line of the full marathon in the area of South Camp Rd and 3 Mile Rd. These improvements should create a much smoother ski experience.
Wave size reductions for 50K Freestyle: The Noquemanon is known for being a race with some elbow room and smaller waves. This is one of the most consistent pieces of feedback we receive - skiers LOVE the smaller waves at the Noquemanon. Waves will continue to be self selected at registration (pending verification of qualifying times) however waves 2 and 3 of the 50K freestyle have now been reduced to 125 skiers.

Junior Noque will return to Al Quaal Recreation Area: In 2022 the race committee experimented with moving the Junior Noque to Al Quaal Recreation area. This change of venue allowed for better access for families, more room, more parking, and more viewable courses for spectators. The feedback received was overwhelmingly positive and the 2023 Junior Noque will return to Al Quaal!
