To maximize the health benefits of cross-country skiing, Porcupine Ski Runners encourages its members to ski often and ski far with the Participators and 1000kms Clubs.

The Participators Club recognizes frequent skiing, regardless of distance. Members record each time they go skiing, and strive for one of the following levels of achievement:

Bronze: at least 25 outings

Silver: at least 50 outings

Gold: at least 75 outings

Platinum: at least 100 outings

The 1000 km club is an ever growing group of members who manages to ski at least 1000 km in a season. The main rewards for this achievement are bragging rights and superb aerobic conditioning, but you also receive a specially designed lapel pin and get your name inscribed on a yearly plaque that is hung in the chalet. The smaller distance of 500 km is recognized by printing those names in the spring newsletter.
