In-person event 

Gather at the Big Tesuque Campground off of Hyde Park Road before 9 a.m., Jan. 31, 2026. The race will start at 9 a.m. Please carpool and arrive early; parking is limited. Assuming snow conditions are good, participants must wear snowshoes.

All participants will receive a technical winter running headband, campfire mug, age group awards, and great raffle prizes. Our free raffle for all participants gives out great prizes including running gear, food/drink from local businesses, local business gift cards, and past years unique race swag!

New this year our overall top 3 race winners will receive a unique mini-snowshoe trophy to impress friends and family.

Virtual participation

Registered participants can complete their own 6-kilometer (3.5 mile) run or hike anywhere, any time between now and Jan. 31, 2026. Competing in snowshoes on snow is ideal, but one perk of a virtual race is that you can participate anywhere!

If you live somewhere without snow, you may still sign up. All registrants will receive a technical winter running headband.
