Josiah Middaugh and Keri Nelson won the men’s and women’s 10K at the Jeremy Wright North American Snowshoe Championships in Beaver Creek on Sunday. Middaugh, who won the U.S. championships in New York the day before (yes, it’s confusing), smoked the 10K course in 47:45. Simon Escorcia and Kelly Escorcia took the 5K titles. More than 300 people entered the various races.

It’s mud season on Front Range foothills trails, so that means it must be snowshoe racing season in the mountains. The first race is this weekend: the Gobbler Chase 5K at Copper.

Racing Underground maintains a good calendar of most snowshoe races around the state, including the state championships (January 17 at Tennessee Pass) and the North American championships (March 7 at Beaver Creek).

One snowshoe race that won’t be happening this year is the Turquoise Lake 20-miler, the famed ultra outside Leadville that has been running for two decades.
