The Ballaine Ridge Snowshoe Classic happens Saturday, February 21! The sixth race of the Running Club North Snowshoe Series is coming up! The Ballaine Ridge Snowshoe Classic tours some of the great trails on the north side of Ballaine Ridge and down into the Goldstream Valley.
The race course is on a 3-kilometer loop of mostly single track snowshoe trails. You can choose to do one, two, or three laps, so distances of 3, 6, or 9 kilometers. These are beautiful and challenging trails with some tough climbs and fun descents.
The race starts at noon on Saturday, February 21, at 834 Goldfinch Road. Parking is along Goldfinch Road so carpool if you can. When parking, pull all the way over to the side so other traffic can pass.
Here’s a Google Maps link to the start:

Registration is 11:30-11:50am at the race start.
Race director is Keith Pollock: kpollockak (at) gmail.com; 907-479-0779
If you don’t have snowshoe running experience, no matter. You’re welcome to come and join in. We have some running snowshoes available for free to loan during the race. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis. (We have rarely, if ever, run out.)
There’s no entry fee. Just sign up at the race. You don’t even have to be a Running Club North member. Everyone who enters the race can enter their name in a random prize drawing, which will be held on the last race of the series.
This is the sixth race in the Snowshoe Series, sponsored by Running Club North. Find out more about the series on the Snowshoe Series webpage:
