No one needs to dread winter anymore. I know it's tough to get out and run in winter. Slushy roads, cold temps, and darkness are just a few of the obstacles we face. With snowshoe races like this, you will stay in shape, and truly experience what winter in the Tug Hill offers.
For you veterans, you know what I'm talking about. But for those trying this snowshoe race for the first time, the "Stone Wall" has evolved into one of the biggest snowshoe events in the country, and for good reason. With the powerful lake effect snow machine, unique awards, a snowshoe give away, and a fantastic post race party that includes complimentary hot foods, this is the "NOT TO MISS" event of the winter season. Choose from a 5K citizen's distance that accomodates all ability levels, and is family friendly. Choose to race, run, or walk with friends. The 10K course is one you will never forget, and is designed for those who are very physically fit, as it is a challenge.
The Race venue is conveniently located 6 miles off Exit 39 (Mannsville exit) from I81, at CCC Camp/Rt 90/Bargy Road. Do not use your navigation device to guide you to the race venue, as it does not know that some roads in the area are seasonal roads, not plowed in the winter time.
Don't have snowshoes? No problem, just add them to your registration.
