Wow! What a magical night at the Dion Ignite the Night Snowshoe Race!
144 participants made this the largest snowshoe race ever held in Ontario for this first year event. The race was held at Upper Canada Village, with competitors racing through the night lit by the lights of the village; in addition to their headlamps through the nearby field and trail. Snowshoers competed in the 10km race to earn points in the Dion Eastern Ontario Snowshoe Running Series. There was also a 5km race, and kids run.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in the race. Results will be posted here as soon as they are available. We apologize for the delay, but with so many race day and last minute entries, in addition to technical difficulties with timing a night race in the cold, we are calculating as best as we can (Note: We had twice as many participants as we expected).
A big thank you to race director Gilles Parisien and his wonderful team of volunteers. And a special thanks to Upper Canada Village and all the sponsors who helped to make this race a tremendous success.
