 Darts Lake Dash Snow Guarantee:  YMCA Camp Gorham is so confident that our trails will have adequate snow to snowshoe on for our Darts Lake Dash 5K and 10K snowshoe races on January 28 and 29, 2012, that it makes the following promise: if you register for either or both races before midnight on Friday January 20, and for some reason there isn’t enough snow on the 28th and/or 29th to run on snowshoes (in which case we’ll have a trail race), then we’ll provide you a voucher waiving your entry fee for the same race(s) next year.
