SFSC News:

The annual Santa Fe Snowshoe Classic (SFSC) is back. Register at runsignup.com to receive great swag, win prizes and support Santa Fe Search and Rescue.

The registration fee is $35 for the in-person event and $40 for the virtual event.

Proceeds will go to Santa Fe Search and Rescue. In addition to volunteering at the Snowshoe Classic, Santa Fe Search and Rescue provides trained teams to participate in wilderness searches for people who are missing, injured or lost. 

In Person:

Gather at the Big Tesuque Campground off of Hyde Park Road Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024. 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 waist pack, age group awards, and raffle prizes.

Virtual:

Registered participants can complete their own 6-kilometer (3.5 mile) run or hike anywhere, any time between now and Jan. 31, 2024. 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. Registrants will be mailed a waist pack.
