February 22, 2019

Written by Nikki Mueller

Come to the Dalles for the 2019 Jumpstart St. Patrick’s Day River Run/Walk. This will be a fun event and a great opportunity to get in a winter time trial.

Break out of your comfort zone at the longest-running snowshoe event in the NW – the 2019 White River Snowshoe 8k/4k (Mt. Hood)

December 11, 2018

Written by Matt Rasmussen

All runners have a race “bucket list”, right?! That group of events that they are planning for and desperately want to add to their list if time (and cost and training) allows. Once of those races for me is the White River Snowshoe Race 4k and 8k, a non-traditional running event that has me hooked – at least visually. The snowshoe race, put on by X-dog Events, takes place at the White River West Sno Park on…

Race Preview: 2018 Snow Lovers Loop Snowshoe Race (Odell Lake)

January 19, 2018

Written by Bobi Jo

Hosted by Level 32 Racing, the Snow Lovers Loop 4k and 8k snowshoeing events will be held on Saturday, February 17, 2018 at Odell Lake. If you’ve ever tried to run in your snowshoes, you know it’s beautiful and challenging (pro tip: waterproof pants are a terrible idea. You’ll roast.). Otherwise, it’s such a fun way to combine running + snow! The 4K event is one loop and the 8K is two loops on the…

Race Preview: The Family 4k at the 2016 Bend Marathon presented by Picky Bars

February 14, 2016

Written by Matt Rasmussen

My 6-year-old ran her first “real” race this year. On New Year’s Day, she ran the Hangover Run 3k in Salem with a proud dad by her side. We know she’s not quite ready for a 5k, but has been badgering me every week about where all the 4k’s are. I have been telling her that 4k’s aren’t really that popular of a distance, but I would continue to look. Imagine the awesomeness in finding…

Race Preview: 2016 Snow Lovers Loop Snowshoe Race

February 11, 2016

Written by

Snowshoeing is one of those activities that I think just about anyone can do regardless of age, size, gender, etc. Not only can it provide an excellent cardio workout, but at the same time, it can also be incredibly exhilarating trekking through forests blanketed in snow. On Saturday, February 27 at 11AM, Level 32 Racing presents the Snow Lovers Loop Snowshoe Race, which will provide snowshoers with the opportunity to race through the Nordic trails of the Odell…
