Just got word that Saturday’s Nor’Easter 5k/10k snowshoe races have been cancelled due to lack of snow. While this is not a series race, it’s worth noting because several of the later Nor’Easter races are part of our series, including their evening race on Sunday January 19.

A second reminder that paper registrations for Cock-a-Doodle-Shoe need to be postmarked by Monday January 13 – after that you’ll be paying the day-of rate.

And finally, our next series race (conditions permitting) is coming up rapidly and on an unusual day – next Tuesday evening’s Gore Nordic Citizen’s 5k. Gore Nordic does have snow-making capability for that course, but keep an eye out as the date gets closer, since this weekend’s weather is supposed to be more like April than January…

Given the lack of snow and the predicted warm temperatures and rain at the end of the week and during the weekend, RD Bob Underwood has decided to postpone the Gurney Lane snowshoe race and fatbike festival that was scheduled for this Saturday 1/11. The new date will be Sunday, January 26.

Updated information is now posted for Brave the Blizzard (2/15), both Stone Bridge Caveman races (2/16), and Garnet Hill (2/29).

Just a quick reminder, pre-reg for the January 19 Cock-a-Doodle-Shoe snowshoe races is by old-fashioned paper and USPS and must be postmarked by Monday, January 13. All the useful info is here or can also be found at the official site .

Welcome to 2020!

RD Mike Owens says the conditions are looking favorable for Sunday’s Get Rec’d at the Town of Stratton Recreation Area. He’s planning to get the course finalized today and once he has an official distance it will be posted.

All the race info can be found here (including GPS coordinates and a googlemaps link for the race site.) Printing and filling out a registration form ahead of time will save time on race morning. Note that registration is cash only and that this is a “primitive” site – the only amenities are a small open shelter, an outhouse, and the positive attitudes of your fellow snowshoers.

Keep an eye out for updates over the next couple of days.
