Northland 300 benefit returns
“I’m baaack” said Steven Eull, a Special Olympics athlete at the Northland 300 meeting in October where snowmobiling participants learned about and registered for the event, a three-day, 300-mile benefit ride from Two Harbors to Ely beginning Thursday.

Last year’s ride was historic as Eull rode on the back of coach Jason Reinsch’s sled for the full ride, a first for a Special Olympics athlete. The pair is back to do it again this year.
The Northland 300 invites the public to observe an opening ceremony at 8 a.m. Thursday at Superior Shores Lodge. Eull, Reinsch and Lake County athletes will help light the “Flame of Hope” for the first time in 2010.
