Western Pleasure Snowshoe Roundup

Western Pleasure Snowshoe Roundup

The Western Pleasure Snowshoe Roundup is the 13th anniversary snowshoe event at Western Pleasure Guest Ranch in Sandpoint, Idaho. The event offers both competitive and recreational options on courses that combine hills, meadows, forest, and open areas. Courses may be machine groomed, snowshoe groomed, or a combination.

There are separate categories for recreational participants and racers. The new recreational category is untimed, self start, and has access to aid stations and finisher awards but not placement awards. Placement awards are given to the first three male and female finishers in the 5K and 10K. All finishers in all races receive finisher awards. Awards are individually handcrafted and reflect the event’s ranch theme.

Additional details:

• 10K snowshoe race
• 5K snowshoe race

Racers 12 and under race for free. A limited number of children’s snowshoes will be available for Buckaroo racers at no charge on a first come basis.
