This came in the Amy Rusiecki, RD of the upcoming 1/25 Mt Tom Snowshoe Scramble, earlier this week (after much of the northeast received a light dusting of snow, so prior to this weekend’s more substantial storm.) Preregistration remains open until Friday 1/24 at 5 PM.
“The dusting of snow this morning reminded me that the 2020 Mt. Tom Snowshoe Scramble is just over a week away. I am doing my snow dances that Saturday night brings us some good snow…and hope you join me in that effort! Otherwise, let’s have a fun trail race instead!!!
I am emailing simply to remind folks that the race will be on, regardless of snow conditions…it might be snowshoeing, it might be trail running, and it might require traction (microspikes or something like that).
We’d love to have more company on the trails, so I encourage you each to find a friend or two and drag them along to the race. Remember that there’s a team competition this year (for ultimate bragging rights, adding the 5k finish time/split from the 4 fastest folks from each group) – you don’t need to be a USATF or RRCA club to participate as a team.
I’ll update folks on the trail conditions as I know more (likely middle of next week) and look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!”
And while you’re here – don’t forget the rescheduled Gurney Lane 5k on Sunday 1/26, with prereg also open until Friday at 5 PM – our first double-header weekend of the season!
