Winter is upon us! There are many winter sports to choose from in the great white North East, snowshoeing is a great one among them. We have a few notable snowshoe races and series right here in the White Mountains as well as a number in Vermont. Whether you’re looking for a 3k to get your feet wet (and cold) or test your limits with a 100 miler, you’ll find what you’re looking for here. The list of races below is divided into those in the White Mountains region and others in New England. This is not an exhaustive list and may be missing a few that we didn’t come across in our search. If you know of a race that we’ve grievously overlooked, let us know!
