The Racing Gnome Snowshoe Race

Sunday, February 12, 2023

Always a fun and challenging event – join us for our annual Racing Gnome Snowshoe on February 12th, 2023! There will be two events – a 5K and a 10K distance race. All experience levels are encouraged to race!

The registration fee is $19 for everyone, with additional event swag for all members who run. Join today to claim your goodies at the race!

Thanks to a generous donation by Alpenglow Sports, as another benefit of membership we have a limited number of snowshoes that are available for use. These will be available on a first-come-first-served basis and we cannot guarantee they will be available for your race. Several local Truckee-Tahoe shops also rent snowshoes if you don’t already own a pair.
