Brief Description

The Screamin' Snowman celebrates over a decade of exciting snowshoe racing on the Front Range this winter. The race will continue to follow its traditional mix of groomed trails, packed singletrack, and exhilarating back-country - a course many describe as the best snowshoe course in Colorado. Eldora Mountain Resort took over the coordination of the event in 2008, and continues to provide an awesome morning of snowshoeing without the I-70 drive!

Location and Start Times

The Screamin' Snowman Snowshoe Race will take place at the Nordic Center at the Eldora Ski Area just a short scenic drive west of Boulder. There will be two starting waves - one for the 10K Run at 9:45 am and a second for the 5K Run at 9:50 am.

The Course

Both 5K and 10K routes are a challenging mix of singletrack, groomed ski trails, and fresh powder. SkiPix will be on course to catch all of the action!!! Race photos will be available at www.skipix.com following the race!

Awards will also be presented to the top-3 male and female youth finishers in the 5K age 12 & Under, 13-15, and 16-19, and to the top-3 finishers in the 10K age 19 and under. The top-3 finishers in each of the following adult divisions will also receive awards in both the 5K and 10K: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89.
