Frozen Assets

Start the Year on Snowshoes!
DATE: January 4, 2020

ONLINE registration ($10) opens at 12:00 AM, November 1st 2019
ONLINE registration for Frozen Assets will close on January 2rd, 2020. There WILL be day-of registration available for $15.

LOCATION:
Harriet Hollister Spencer State recreation Area is located at the south end of Honeoye Lake about 45 minutes South of Rochester, NY. We have chosen this park because of it's ability to always have snow. If there isn't any in the city of Rochester there is still a good chance of snow in Harriet.

COURSE:
The trail system is groomed for x-c skiing both classic and skate which makes for excellent snowshoeing conditions. Do not be fooled we always like to throw in a little ungroomed trail for the adventure.

Is 6-hours too long? We already paid for the Lodge. We already paid for the insurance. We already bribed our volunteers with lies of great fame and overwhelming wealth. We might as well host a shorter version of the Cast A Shadow 6 hour snowshoe race. This shorter race will be two go-a-rounds of the 2ish mile loop.

This will be a low frills event with awards and snacks like our season kick-off event Frozen Assets with ten year age groups men and women, plus overall open and masters divisions. Packet pick-up will begin at 9:30 am in the Sunnyside lodge. Race starts at 10:30am with men and women starting together.
