A DOUBLEHEADER WEEKEND OF SERIES RACES!

We have a double header coming up this weekend, with snow for at least one of the days!

Saturday’s Hoot Toot and Whistle 5k at 10:30 AM in Readsboro will be a SNOWSHOE RACE! Bob and Denise Dion ran the course yesterday and said there is a packed based with a couple of inches of powder – and also said not to underestimate the difficulty of the course just because it doesn’t feature any major climbs or deep snow. Day of reg at the Readsboro School starts at 9 AM, with the race starting line almost a mile away (so leave enough time after registering to either walk or take the bus to the start!) More details can be found on the race page.

Sunday’s Saratoga Winterfest 5k at 11 AM will be a TRAIL RACE with traction aids REQUIRED. The course will likely be a mix of packed snow, ice, and bare ground, with a couple of short but steep hills. Check-in and day-of registration at the admin building starting at 9:30 AM. Again more details can be found on the race page.

Keep an eye out here and on our Facebook group for any last-minute changes. I’ll be doing a race in western NY from 1 PM to 7 PM Saturday but will remain awake afterwards long enough to post any last minute updates if needed.

As a side note – if you’re not going to be in the eastern NY/western VT neck of the woods this weekend, there are a LOT of other races scheduled for Saturday and Sunday all across the northeast.
