The Braveheart Snowshoe
Racing Series is returning for the 3nd annual year! This year we will again base the series on race participation NOT race placement. Click
on this link to go directly to info for the Braveheart
Championship Race
It
works as follows: First
of all, There is NO fee
to participate.
Runners
must register for each race individually. To participate in the series
racers simply contact Dave Sykora at (snowshower58@gmail.com)
with name, email address and phone number stating that you want to be in
the series. Important:
In order for the race to count you will be required to report your participation
in each race to Dave within a week of completing the race. Only races completed
will count. You do not need to report place or time. You only need
to email Dave that you completed the race, mentioning the specific race and your
class (see the 3 below). Only races that are part of the series will count. Participating races can be found on this “CuteMoose” web site on the “Snowshoe Event” page. (Bookmark http://www.cutemoose.net in your browser.) Participating races are indicated by "Snowshoe Series" adjacent the races listed on the "Snowshoe Event” page. If there are multiple races for one event you may do any or all of them provided you complete each race entered.
This
year the series will have 3 race classifications (added “Classic” for 2012):
Open
Class -
The participant may wear any size and or style snowshoe as long as the snowshoe
is no smaller than the minimum requirements of the United Stated Snowshoe
Association (USSSA). See: http://snowshoeracing.com. If you don't own
a pair of snowshoes, contact Jim McDonell at jimmcdonell@comcast.net
if you want to borrow a pair of Dion snowshoes to try or use at a race.
Jim has 10 pair of loaner snowshoes generously provided by Dion. There
will be separate drawings for each or our three race classifications, so
participants will be eligible more than one prize. Prizes
will be awarded based on drawings held at the end of the season at the Lakewoods
Hot Air Balloon Rally and Snowshoe Race near Cable, MN. For every series
race completed and reported to Dave Sykora the participant’s name will be
entered into a drawing. For example, if you enter and completed 2-Open
Class races, 2-Mountaineering Class races and 1-Classic Class race you will be
entered two times in the Open Class drawing, two times in the Mountaineering
Class drawing and one time in the Classic Class drawing for a total of 5
entries. Prizes
will include 3 pairs of Dion snowshoes, a $100 gift certificate for Wintergreen
Northern Wear, a number of items from Silent Glide Canoe and Kayak and several
pairs of winter socks from Thorlo. If you join the Upper Midwest Trail Runners
your name will be entered an additional time (see their web site for info on
becoming a member (http://www.umtr.net) and be certain to report this to Dave Sykora). A special award will be given to all participants who completed at least EIGHT series races. This special award will be awarded at the Lakewoods seasons end race or if not present at the UMTR fall festival. Here are photos of the 2011 Awards:
