Showshoes take the stage at 10am at Sprague Brook Park's XC Ski Hut in Glenwood, NY.

The courses consists of the Parks XC ski trails and parkways which are rolled with grooming equipment (based on frozen ground/snow conditions) prior & after so skiing can resume but at 10am on race-day it's all about snowshoeing.

You'll sweat, your heart will pound and you'll acheive one of the greatest thirlls of the winter season in the Scramble. Gear for Adventure in Hamburg will be on-hand to assist with rentals. Stay tuned if a post-ponement is needed.
