FAQ
Q: Will there be race registration?
A: Yes, $25 entry for race day
Q: What if there is no snow?
A: If there is no snow, we will still have a 5K Trail Race.
Q: What is the race cancelation policy?
A: To ensure the safest event for the participants and all involved, we reserve the right to cancel, delay, or modify the format of the event at anytime. Believe us, it would have to be a very, very SERIOUS and DANGEROUS situation for the event to be canceled. But in the unfortunate situation this is required, there is a no-refund policy in place, as the majority of the costs have already been incurred to host the event and when associated, we do not want to take away any contributions to our charities. We expect you to be disappointed if the event is canceled, as we will be, but we also hope you understand why a no-refund policy is in place.
Q: Are there any refunds or transfers?
A: Sorry, all registrations are final; there are no refunds or transfers to other participants. In the event that there is no snow, and the conditions allow, there will be a trail race instead.
Q: Are strollers, joggers, pets, etc allowed on the course?
A: Due to insurance purposes and the safety of all participants, and the obvious reason of the terrain of the trails, we cannot allow strollers, joggers, pets, etc on any of the courses at all.
Q: Is the event chip-timed?
A: Yes. It will be a gun-start, chip-finish.
Q: What size snowshoe is allowed?
A: minimum 120 sq in FSA (Functional Surface Area); this generally includes all adult snowshoe model, any brand). Consult your snowshoe manufacture's website for specifications.
