The inaugural Tour de Kamview takes place the first weekend in February and brings three days of Nordic skiing action to Thunder Bay. Skiers can vie for the yellow jersey by participating in all three events, or just enter the classic or skate events. There are prizes for the male & female yellow jersey winners and age-group and overall prizes for the classic and skate events. Watch for the yellow jersey presentation after each stage of the tour. All participants can look forward to a hot pizza lunch after Sunday’s stage.
