Bergkonig Trail Run

Proceeds from the event will be deposited into the Peak Scholarship Fund. The Peak Scholarship Fund is managed by the Peak Nordic Board to provide financial assistance to Peak Nordic Ski Club participants, alumni, and coaches in ski-related training, education, travel, and/or race events.

The Bergkönig was created to support locally raised elite nordic ski racers by Maria Stuber and Bryan Cook. This year, it is being put on by local Waukesha athlete, Felicia Gesior, in conjunction with the Peak Nordic Ski team. Felicia is a Peak Nordic Alumni who represented the USA in the 2019 Beijing City Sprint, 2018 OPA Trip, and 2016 U23 World Championships. While now retired from professional racing, Felicia continues to hold the race to add to the fund for future generations.

Peak Nordic is a Southeastern Wisconsin-based, non-profit organization that is working to get local kids competitively involved in cross-country skiing. Peak Nordic has programs for Elementary School, Middle School, and High School athletes, with their training based out of Lapham Peak State Park.
