Course Overview

The course is a snowy jaunt through the woods with plenty of logs to jump and branches to duck! Tons of wintry fun for sure!

What if there is no snow??

WHAT? It would be the first time if there wasn't. There will be snow … but, if there isn’t, YOU WILL BE PART OF HISTORY, RUNNING A SNOWSHOE RACE IN YOUR RUNNING SHOES. I love this race! I love a winter road trip to Traverse City!

If there's no snow, bring your trail shoes, the race goes on no matter what the conditions! How cool is that

What To Bring For The Event

  • Snowshoes, if you own your own
  • Running/trail shoes
  • Gloves, hat, you're going to be covered in snow!

Snow Shoe Rental: $20 (Add on a snowshoe rental during registration. We have a limited number of snowshoes to rent, so make sure you sign up early!!)
