SNOWSHOE RENTAL: We have a limited number of SNOWSHOES available for rent at checkout and we expect our rental pairs to go quickly. We will do our best to announce when the snowshoes are all spoken for. If, when registering, you are able to reserve a pair, that means there are still snowshoes available. The rental cost is $10.00, which goes directly towards maintaining the fleet of snowshoes and making sure they are in tip-top shape.

AWARDS: Top male and female winners will receive awards from our sponsors.

WEATHER: In the unlikely event of no snow, the race will take place as a trail run (without snowshoes). If the race is held without snowshoes, we encourage you to wear a traction device on your shoes as the trail may be icy.
