I was an RD this year! -Rookie Snowshoe Race Directing

This past winter, I had the amazing opportunity to be a Snowshoe Race Director. The planning was in the works since last summer, and the Dion Winter Goose Chase at Shades Mills Conservation Area in Cambridge, ON became reality on February 4th, 2017. I was excited to bring snowshoe running to Cambridge. The majority of the snowshoe races in Ontario are a few hours away, so the thought of a snowshoe run in my hometown was wonderful. I teamed-up with Derrick Spafford the organizer of the Dion Ontario Snowshoe running series, and my race was part of the series.

The kids slept over at their Grandma's and Grandpa's house, and my husband and I were set to have a day away together to compete in the Dion Ganaraska Forest Snowshoe Race, near Port Hope, Ontario. This is the 6th race in the Dion Eastern Ontario Snowshoe Running Series . We woke up early to make the 2 and a half hour drive to the race. The rain overnight had melted all the snow in Cambridge, so we were expecting to see increasingly more snow as we drove closer to the race site. Nope. The neighbouring farmer's fields right beside Ganaraska forest were completely clear. Greg and I couldn't believe that there was enough snow for snowshoes. But there was. Inside the forest the snow was abundant. Most was deep, packing snow, but in some...
