SNOWSHOE RAID ADVENTURE RUN
The Snowshoe Raid will not run in it's usual format in 2022. Instead we are putting on a smaller, low key 'Not The Snowshoe Raid' on February 26.
Learn more and follow links to sign up here.
DESCRIPTION
A 3-hour snowshoe race for teams of two with navigation by map and compass.
Competitors travel on and off-trail to checkpoints located throughout the Blue
Mountains escarpment studded forests and parklands. Go as hard or as easy as
you like! Checkpoints (CPs) are rated on their difficulty and are assigned different
point values. The more CP's and points collected the higher you'll rank!

VOLUNTEERS
DontGetLost Adventure Running is a not-for-profit organization and the success of
our races relies on the wonderful support we get from our volunteers. We require
15-20 volunteers for each race. There are many benefits to being a DontGetLost
Adventure Running Series volunteer including: having fun, get free race swag,
enjoy the outdoors, learn about the sport (a great way to start), build management
experience, free post-race food, and it counts towards highschool student volunteer
curriculum. If you are interested in volunteering contact Bob Miller
