ABOUT
Snowshoes? That’s right, when winter covers our beloved trails, some of us switch to snowshoes and keep right on running. Racing snowshoes are a far cry from the tennis racket-shaped gear of yesteryear—you strap them on over your normal running shoes to get a stable platform that keeps you on top of the snow. It’s harder than run-
It’s harder than running, but incredible exercise and huge fun to boot. So conquer the cold in the Ithaca area’s only snowshoe race! The well-marked course is part of the Hammond Hill State Forest trail system, which is commonly used for ski- ing and snowshoeing, so it should be packed down unless there is a big snowfall the night before. Don’t worry if you don’t have snowshoes, since we’ll have a few pair available to borrow.
We’ll be meeting at the warming hut by the Hammond Hill public parking lot, where a wood fire will be keeping everyone warm(ish) no matter what the weather is like outside. And for a snowshoe race, we’re rooting for cold and snowy! After the race, pile into the warming hut for post-race snacks and beard thawing, and don’t miss the after-party at the Dryden Hotel.
WHERE
The races start and finish at the Hammond Hill warming hut, just in on the trail from the public parking lot, whose address is roughly 100 Hammond Hill Road, Freeville, NY 13068. Do not follow GPS directions via Harford Road, which is not passable. Instead, make sure to come via Irish Settlement Road.
From Ithaca: Take Route 13 north toward Dryden. Before entering Dryden, take a right onto Irish Settlement Road. After going through an S curve you will go up a big hill; continue a couple of miles. Take a left onto Hammond Hill Road. Soon you will come to a Y intersection; take the right fork. At the top of the hill is a parking lot on the right. Park here. The start/finish area is on the trail a short walk east from the parking lot.
