Welcome to the 12th Anniversary Edition of the Western Pleasure Snowshoe Roundup hosted by the scenic Western Pleasure Guest Ranch.. Events include 5k and 10k snowshoe races for all ages, and a short distance untimed Buckaroo race for racers 6 and under. All events offer both recreational and competitive opportunities. No experience necessary. New this year: Recreational category--an untimed, self start opportunity for those who want to participate but not compete. Will have access to aid stations and finisher's awards but not placement awards. This is a fun event for the whole family and everyone is invited to participate! Race courses are challenging but very scenic and consist of a combination of hills, meadows, forest, and open areas. They may be machine groomed, snowshoe groomed, or a combination. Awards are individually handcrafted, unique, and combine the old west ranch spirit with modern snowshoe racing. Placement awards for first three male and female finishers in the 5k and 10k, and all finishers in all races receive finisher's awards. Racers 12 and under race for free. A limited number of kid’s snowshoes will be available for Buckaroo racers on a first come basis at no charge. Participants 7 and older must register on line. Buckaroo Race free--register race morning in lodge. Hot soup and beverages will be available for purchase in the lodge. Number pickup and race day registration is from 8:00 to 9:30 am in the lodge.
