Fresh Tracks 5K Snowshoe Walk & Race
The Fresh Tracks event on March 1, 2026 is a 5K snowshoe race and walk held at Historic Camp Richardson Resort in South Lake Tahoe. In case of no snow, the event becomes a trail walk or run.
The course follows a machine groomed track through forested terrain and mountain meadows. The route is mostly flat with some short, moderate climbs.
Entry options include early pre-registration for $35 (plus fees) through Feb. 26, standard entry at $45 from Feb. 27 onward with cash-only payment on race day, and a Youth/Cross Country option for $10 that does not include event swag. Entry covers event swag, post-race refreshments, and continued day-use of the groomed Camp Richardson trails.
Proceeds benefit Metavivor, a metastatic breast cancer organization. Age categories run from 12 and under up to 80 and over, and awards are given three deep in each division.
A familiarization walk is offered for those who want to try snowshoeing without racing. A limited number of demo snowshoes, about 30 pairs, will be available; participants are advised to contact organizers early to reserve equipment.
Directions note access from Highway 50 and Highway 89 in South Lake Tahoe, with specific driving routes provided from Sacramento and Reno. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
