THE STONE WALL SATURDAY JANUARY 28, 2017
Walk. Run. Enjoy winter with friends.
The Winona Stone Wall has evolved into one of the Northeast’s premier snowshoe events. Choose from a 5K citizen's distance, where you may choose to race, run, or walk with friends. The 6-8 mile distance is more competitive, not meant for walkers, and offers a variety of all types of trail conditions. Do not use your navigation device to guide you to the race venue, as it does not know that some roads in the area may not be plowed in the winter time, because they are seasonal roads. Race venue is conveniently located 6 miles off Exit 39 from I81, at CCC Camp/Rt 90/Bargy Road. Winona Forest is known for its deep snowfalls, and winter wonderland appearance. Bring the family. Snowshoe loaners can be reserved by e-mailing race director at snowshoerace@gmail.com. All pre-registrants will receive a commemorative 2017 Stone Wall souvenir.

DISCLAIMER:
The Stonewall 5k follows a well-marked course that is true to the sport of snowshoe racing. The course is designed so anyone can participate, regardless of your ability levels. Winter conditions are unpredictable! You may encounter deep snow, bitterly cold temperatures, blizzard-like conditions, logs to jump, limbs to duck, wet conditions, water holes, downed trees, steep up and down hills, snowmobilers, skiers, and wild animals. It could be a bright, blue, clear winter day, or it could be something much different. Prepare for anything. Regardless of weather, come to enjoy the day with fellow ‘shoers, in a beautiful forest.
