A weekend of snowshoeing, well trail running and snowshoeing on grass, awaits everyone at the Lake Effect Snowshoe Festival sponsored by Fleet Feet.
Mike, Lou and I, the supreme race course designers, will once again be making a 300 meter track on a park field in Webster. This year participants will have to wear their snowshoes and race on a grass field, thanks to mother nature shortchanging us. It should be rather humorous to watch, though times may also be fairly fast.
Participants can run the 100, 200, 400, and 1500 meter sprints. If they do them all twice, they will qualify for the Empire State Games. Fleet Feet is also offering a 2, 4 and 13 mile trail run. The 4 and 13 mile runs qualify participants for the ESG 5k xc snowshoe race.
The races will be held on Sunday, January 24, beginning at 8am (sprints at 8:30am).
