On 24 January 2026, the Bigfoot Snowshoe Race returns in Traverse City, Michigan, staging a winter trail running event with 1-mile fun run, 5K, and 10K distances over snow-covered woodland terrain. The race begins and finishes at Timber Ridge Nordic Center, where runners warm up beforehand and gather afterward around the fire with chili, hot drinks, and community warmth. The snowshoe course includes natural obstacles (logs to jump, branches to duck) and varied trails through forested land. Snowshoes can be rented (limited supply), and the event provides timing, a festive winter ambiance, and winter race memorabilia (hoodies, beanies). It’s a winter specialty run that combines performance, snow adventure, and social gathering under snowy skies.
