LINCOLN, New Hampshire ??” The 14th annual TJX Briefcase Race will be held at Loon Mountain on Saturday, March 4, hosted byWCVB Sportscaster Mike Lynch.

Teams of five or individual skiers and boarders will compete on an easy dual slalom course dressed in costumes. All proceeds from the Briefcase Race goes to the Faulkner Hospital Breast Centre, where each year the race raises more than $45,000.

The entry fee for a team of five racers is $750 or $150 for each individual racer. The race is limited to the first 50 teams that register. For registration information please call the Faulkner Hospital Philanthropy Office at 617-983-7309. All racers will receive a free event t-shirt, race bib, soft-sided briefcase, promotional items, lift ticket and lunch.
