The Muskoka Loppet has long been known for its great classic cross country ski racing. In addition to the 7km to 30km ski events, there will also be three snowshoe events. There are 3km and 9km races for individuals, and a 9km relay race.
The relay race is unique in that the two or three person teams must share just one pair of snowshoes. The organizers approach is to introduce this sport to as many people as possible. Not everyone owns snowshoes, so this way the teams can rent or borrow a pair and still have a lot of fun.
There are also lots of place and draw prizes, and a hot lunch is included.
Online registration and the simple rules of snowshoe racing can be found at
