Snowshoe Race

Five Reasons to buy, borrow, or rent a pair of snow shoes for January 12 and head up to Park City, USA:

Sports-AM is putting on an awesome 5k race at the Park City Rail Trail.
Fresh air, high altitude–it’s why you’re on this site, right?
Work off your holiday belly all in one go.
Kick-off race for the US National’s series with a chance to win a slot for the championships held in March at Utah’s very own Snowbasin Resort! (While you’re there, you can check out Xterra’s latest brain child, the Xterra winter World Championship)
Good place to be away from claustrophobic ski resorts and still get a fantastic workout.

So what are you waiting for? This is going to awesome. Where else do you meet runner’s who hate to ski, skiers who love to run, and snowshoe die-hards who don’t know quite what they’re getting into? I’ll see you there!

Utah Winter Games Skate Race

You and I probably never going to go to the Olympics, but that does not mean we can’t race the same venues! If you live in Utah or are visiting on January 12 head over to Solder Hollow and race the Utah Winter Games 10k Skate Race. This is the same venue as the 2002 Winter Olympics.

The University of Utah Invitational Race starts at 9:30 so get there early to see the big guns. The best collegiate skate skiers will be throwing down. Utah Winter Games race starts at 11.
