Choose your category: Snowshoe or no snowshoe. Once you sign up for the series and declare a category that is the category you'll be in for the entire series.

We run with or without snow. If by chance there is a state of emergency due to a storm we'll take that night off.

Other Pertinent Items:

• If there isn't enough snow, it will be a trail race and no snowshoes.  It is the participants responsibility to make sure they find out if its snowshoe or not
• Don't follow the person in front of you - you can't guarantee they know where they are going, then poof your all of a sudden off course
• Pay attention and heed all signs
• Come with a sense of humor and have fun

Distances:  Anywhere between 3-4 miles. the races will be approximately 30-60 minutes in length.

Headlamps Required:  Each race starts at 7:15PM and the trails will be dark, so you must wear a headlamp or you will not be allowed to participate.

Awards:  Awards will be given at the post race party on Feb. 27th to full series participants based on the category entered (snowshoe / no snowshoe). Top M/F by Category and Top M/F by 10 Year Age Groups. We will also be presenting the Winter Warrior award.

Directions to Parks:   From east or west - Take 490 to Culver Rd. Exit. Head South on Culver Rd. Turn left onto Norris Dr. Riley Lodge is on the left next to Riley Lake. Map of Area

Series Scoring: Within each series (Snowshoe, No Snowshoe), points will be awarded based on finish time. The winner of any given race (male and female) will be awarded 100.00 points. All other runners in that category will receive a percentage of 100.00 equal to the percentage the winner's time is of their own time. For example, if the winner finishes in 20:00 and you finish in 25:30, you will receive (20 minutes/25.5 minutes) * 100 = 78.43 points (points will be rounded to the nearest hundredth).

This type of scoring emphasizes finish time over finish place, making close finishes less detrimental to series standings than scoring by place.  Regardless of the order you place the faster you run the more points you receive.

A runner's series score will be determined by adding the top 4 scores from individual races. Although running a single race will enter you into the point series, running 4 races will provide a more competitive score. Running more than 4 races will provide an opportunity to improve your score.

At the end of the series, awards will be given to the top runner in the Snowshoe and No Snowshoe divisions, male and female. Additionally, awards will be give
