8DAY 2 of the Festival of Flakes is Sunday March 3, 2020 - THE SNOFATSHU
SnoFatShu -is the first snowshoe/fat bike duathlon of its kind in the country!
Date: Sunday March 8, 2020
Time: 9:00 AM
Location: CCC Camp at Winona Forest Mannsville, NY
The SnoFatShu is named after the relatively unknown monster of Japanese mythology. The Snofatshu consists of a snowshoe leg of approximately 5km, arriving back to the transition area to send the partner racer out with the fatty for 10-20 KM of fat trail heaven. Distance will depend on snow conditions. Once back, the snowshoe runner will head out for the final 5K lap. Team or solo, it is your choice.
Snowshoe Race 5k
If a duathlon is not your thing, but you want to be part of this great event, just do the snowshoe race. The snowshoe race is a milder version of the Stone Wall 5K, relatively flat and fast, depending on conditions of course.
LOANER SHOES: DION racing snowshoes and others available for $5. Please email me to reserve.
Fat Bike Race 12k
If a running is not your thing, but you want to be part of this great event, just do the fat bike race. The course is designed with everyone in mind and you will love all of the beauty that the Forest has to offer!
* FREE MEAL - our menus includes everything from sandwiches to Vegan dishes.
Same Day Registration: Is available. Cash only. Sorry, no swag is guaranteed for those that register same day.
