Snowshoes? That’s right, when winter covers our beloved trails, some of us switch to snowshoes and keep right on running. Racing snowshoes are a far cry from the tennis racket-shaped gear of yesteryear—you strap them on over your normal running shoes to get a stable platform that keeps you on top of the snow. It’s harder than running, but incredible exercise and huge fun to boot. So conquer the cold in the Ithaca area’s only snowshoe race! The course is part of the Hammond Hill State Forest trail system, which is commonly used for skiing and snowshoeing. The Finger Lakes Runners Club is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization focused on promoting physical fitness and health through running. Based in Ithaca and drawing members from all over the Finger Lakes region, our club is dedicated to the love of running, as a sport and as a way of life — for fun, for fitness, for camaraderie. We hope you’ll come run with us!
