Nanataq Snowshoe Race #1

Course will be up and back, finishing where you start, beginning at the bottom turn out, near Independence Mine, at the gravel road (Willow Pass) that takes you up to Summit Lake area. The road is closed for the winter but will be hard packed from snow machines unless there is a fresh snowfall. The course will run uphill 1.6 miles. It will then continue around summit lake. The runners will then descend off-piste, single track or fresh powder, through designated area off to the side off road and return to the start/finish line. There is a fair amount of climbing in this race, over 1000 ft.
