About the Event

Embrace the magic of a winter adventure at the Frigus Snowshoe Festival on February 28, 2026. Held in the pristine, snow-draped wilderness of Moreau Lake State Park, this unique festival transforms a crisp winter day into a celebration of movement and community. The event offers a distance for everyone, from a spirited 1-mile kids' race to a challenging 15K expedition with over 2,300 feet of climbing. This is a chance to experience the silent, sparkling beauty of the forest in its seasonal splendor, traveling on snowshoes across a landscape reserved for winter explorers.

Starting on the frozen shore of the lake, participants carve their own paths through a world of hushed trails and breathtaking overlooks, with each crunch of snow underfoot marking the rhythm of the race. The festival atmosphere is warm and inclusive, culminating with hot food, custom swag, and a shared sense of accomplishment by the finish. More than just a competition, it's an invitation to play in the snow, test your mettle on a rugged course, and create unforgettable winter memories. Step into a true cold-weather classic where the challenge is as refreshing as the mountain air.
