Across the Empire State 12 snowshoe races are being collectively organized as a series for the 2011-12 snowshoe season.  Each race has its own race director and event management.  Individual points will be awarded for each race using a very simple scoring system

For 2012, the DION series will be more competitive with your best six (6) individual preformances determining your point standings. A half marathon distance has been added as an option as well. Prizes have not been determined, but the top 5 male and female points leaders are eligible to take part in a drawing for the prizes. Including a new pair of DION racing snowshoes. Drawings will take place at the championship race Feb. 19th.

Here is the 2012 DION Empire State Snowshoe Racing Series Schedule... To check results, photos or other information on specific events, click the underlined Race Event Link. Visit the event website (not this one) regularly to check for changes (Winter Weather changes things, we are flexible). The dates listed on this page are good for now, but check the individual race website often... Thanks!!
