The January 24, 2021 Stone Wall -
For those trying this snowshoe race for the first time, you will not be disappointed by the great trails, abundant snow, and plenty of like-minded adventurous winter enthusiasts to share the day with, and make memories.
The "Stone Wall" features a variety of trail types, from groomed packed trail, to single track, hills both steep and gentle. The Tug’s powerful lake effect snow machine provides reliable snow conditions year after year. We have never had to cancel. Choose from a 5K citizen's distance that accommodates all ability levels, and is family friendly. Or choose the relentless 10K, actual distance a bit longer than that. The 10K course is one you will never forget, and is designed to be a worthy challenge for all fitness levels. Walk, run, do a little of both, it’s your day to enjoy Snowshoe Racing at its finest.
For 2021, we must adhere to the following guidelines:
The Snowshoe Marathon -
Register for the Marathon, and complete the 5 “Marathon Courses” listed between December 25 and March 7. Maps and detailed turn by turn course descriptions will be available on the Winona Forest Website by Christmas day. To help guide your adventures, courses will be well marked, and color coded by 12/25.
When you complete a course, just email me your Name and Finish Time. You will be listed as a Finisher on Winona’s website on the Snowshoe Page for that course. Finishers will be listed in alphabetical order, only the top 3 times will be posted. This way, no one needs to feel “rushed” when out enjoying the winter day snowshoeing.
It is my genuine hope that the addition of the Winona Snowshoe Marathon will start a new tradition with you, and your friends and family. What an ideal opportunity to get out and stay fit in the winter months.
If you register for the Marathon, you do not need to also register for the Stone Wall. You will be automatically registered, and a bib and beanie will be waiting for you Jan. 24.
