Speaking of Snowshoeing...Frozen Assets Bares All

How many times have ya heard some of us say, "Gee, I wish we had a 5K snowshoe race." (Especially after our 7.6-miler in hip-deep snow!) There are some 5Ks, you just have to go to the Adirondacks or Western Mass to find them. But, not anymore.

Mort Nace and Tim Ratowski, the guys who bring you the local Muddy Sneaker 20K -- and attend our snowshoe and trail events -- have created a new snowshoe race.

It's called the Frozen Assets Snowshoe 5K (great name!), set for Jan. 12 at the Harriet Holister Spencer Park, at the southend of Honeoye Lake (Rochester area). This 5K will be an ESG 5K qualifier. I do not know the time right now.

The entrie fees are $12 by Jan. 1, 2002, or $17 thereafter and race day. You must race in at least 8" by 24" snowshoes (regulation racing size); Redfeather loaners will be available. Awards to 19-under through 60-up.

You can download the entry from the website at www.geocities.com/goutnow; or email the guys at goutnow@yahoo.com.

Given the raves for the Muddy Sneaker trail run, and that they've observed our snowshoe race for inspiration, expect a great event. Also, part II of the regional snowshoe calendar is included in this issue.
