The National Nordic Foundation (NNF) is excited to announce the 3rd installment of our virtual speaker series with U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart on Thursday, February 2nd at 8:00pm EST.

NNF’s speaker series is free to attend, with a recommended $25 donation going directly to support our Pillar Projects this winter and beyond. Donation and registration for Travis Tygart’s talk on Thursday February 2nd at 8:00pm EST can be found here and here. Limited to the first three-hundred participants.

Tygart will deliver a lecture focused on creating a culture of “clean sport” from the earliest levels of athlete development on up, with specific knowledge applied to US nordic skiing. Coaches and skiers of all ages and ability are encouraged to attend for a talk with one of the world’s leading experts on anti-doping in endurance sports.

The NNF virtual lecture series serves a dual-purpose in benefitting the American ski community; offering an exceptional sport education opportunity while helping power the grassroots movement to bring the latest ideas in training and developmental philosophy to US skiing’s program. By doing so virtually, NNF has committed to making the latest knowledge in nordic skiing accessible to all those parties interested in pushing our sport, and community, forward.
