Join us for the 19th Sandia Snowshoe Classic, presented by the Friends of the Sandia Mountains (FOSM) on Saturday, January 21., 2023.

The race will begin at 10:00 am at the lower-level parking lot at Sandia Crest and is a 5K tour of the beautiful trails in the Cibola National Forest. The event is limited to 175 participants, ages 13 and older; racers of all levels are welcome. This race has filled up quickly in the past, there won't be any race day registrations. Make sure to register early and don’t miss out on the fun!

Registration fee is $35 and includes refreshments, swag, the parking fee at the Crest and the processing fee; no refunds, no rescheduling of the event, and no transfer of entries. You will receive your bib and giveaways at race day check in; no pre-race packet pick up. The top three winners each for male and female will receive cash prizes! 

Please bring your own snowshoes; several places in town provide daily rentals, e.g. MST Adventures.

And please plan to carpool to the Crest on race day since parking is limited.

All proceeds go to the Friends of the Sandia Mountains for preservation and maintenance of trails as well as other US Forest Service resources.
