When you're looking for 12 different type of races you need to think a bit out of the box, and you need to think about things that you can do in the New England winter. Showshoeing was one of the winter possibilities that came to mind.
About Snowshoeing
In case you don't know what snowshoeing is, there are a few good resources to find out. You might as well start here at Snowshoe Mag. To sum it up in a short sentence "You put on shoes that distribute your weight more widely so that you don't sink into the snow when walking on it."
Linked Charities
TBD...
Training Needs
Outside of straight cardio training, leg strength exercises and practicing a few times, I'm not sure if there are any training needs. The idea would be to either run a 5K or a 10K depending on how adventurous I feel.
Possible Snowshoeing Races for Me to Participate In
TBD.. I started reaching out to a few different organizations and will have to keep a look out at the schedule to find something in January or February.
