14th Annual United States National Snowshoe Championship


Sponsored by Dion Snowshoes...

 1st Prospect Mountain 10Km Snowshoe Nationals

March 10th, 2014 - Prospect Mountain - Woodford, VT

Prospect Mountain Nordic Ski Center for the U.S.S.S.A. Nationals...  many of us have been waiting for this, a National Championship on one of our "home courses".

Great rewarding day, running with my Pop.  We finished 192 and 193 out of 213 in the Men's Open Division (there were 114 in the Women's Open Division, 19 in the Women's Citizen Race, 36 in the Men's Citizen Race, and 14 in the Junior Women's 5km race, with 16 in the Junior Men's 5km, not to mention the Sunday addition of the relay races).

Largest field ever for Nationals, wonderful event.  My Pop was awarded a Gold Medal for finishing 1st in his age division, and I was presented with an Achievement Award from the USSSA in recognition of outstanding service to the sport of snowshoe racing!
