Himanaji Winter Challenge
About the event
The Himanaji (Hi-ma-NA-ji) Winter Challenge is a 5k snowshoe race hosted by Tara Lila at the Ripco Road Park Unit in Oneida County, Wisconsin.
The name of the race comes from two Sanskrit words: “Himana (adj.)” meaning “snowy”, and “Aji (n.)” meaning “racecourse”. We hope this challenge will inspire you to test yourself physically as you explore the beautiful Northwoods in the winter.
