Snowshoe running is the fastest growing winter sport, and the Sliver Skate Festival is excited to add a snowshoe race to the events in 2014. Come see what snowshoe running is all about in our first annual snowshoe race of the festival. To host an amazing race, the Silver Skate Festival has partnered with Snowshoe Canada, the national organization that promotes the sport, as well as Monika Owczarek, Canadian snowshoe running Champion and 4-time World Championships qualifier.

5km Race - If you can run, you can snowshoe. This race will start and finish in Hawrelak Park with part of the run on the trails. Snowshoe running is a fantastic cross-training workout and will keep you in shape in the winter. Come check out why so many athletes are getting into this fun sport.

1km Family Fun Run - Snowshoeing is for the whole family and anyone can do it.  Kids are encouraged to participate in this shorter loop in Hawrelak park. The 1km run will start after the 5km has been completed.

Awards - Prizes for the top three finishers in each gender will be awarded in the 5km race, as well as awesome draw prizes for participants.
