Event details
The Santa Fe Snowshoe Classic takes place on January 31, 2026, at Big Tesuque Campground in Santa Fe, NM 87505. The event offers two formats: an in-person snowshoe race and a virtual option. Both formats are a distance of 6K. The in-person course is a lollipop route that follows Big Tesuque Trail, Winsor Trail, and Pacheco Canyon Road. Snowshoes are required when conditions permit. Proceeds benefit Santa Fe search and rescue teams. Age-group awards are given to in-person participants, and a prize raffle for in-person entrants is held at the conclusion of the race. Parking at the campground is limited. Men will start first this year.
