By Frank Gaval
The 2014 National snowshoe Championships were held Sat. March 1 in Bennington, Vermont. Twenty two states and 8 foreign countries were represented in this winter competition at Prospect Mountain Nordic center.
Men's 10km and Women's 10km
races were contested along with the 5km junior division. Over 350 competitors took part and Pennsylvania was well represented with 7 racers. Among the state's residents were Dan Craighead of State College finishing in 9th place overall.
Ninty place Lou Gunderman of White Haven Pennsylvania. and Hazleton area track coach finishing time 58:26 was good for 3rd place in the 60-64 age group. Theresa Rennekamp of Lake Ariel was the 90th in the Women’s 10km. Nine participants from the Pennsylvania.State Championships held on Feb.15th at Nescopeck State Park Drums made the trip to the Green Mts. of Vermont.
The women champ from New Jersey, Janice Morra ran 65:15 placing 34 overall and 1st in her age group of 55-59. And the Pa. Men's champ Even Deney from Conshocken, Pa. had to withdraw from the 10km due to a medical condition. However, a star studded field was outdistanced by Canadian Summer Olympian and World Snowshoe Champion, David LePorho in 41:51.He was followed by another Canadian Summer Olympian in the steeplechase, Joel Bourgeois 42:06. The 1st American, Eric Hartmark of Duluth MN, 42:20 and National Champ came in third. The female crown went to Concord, New Hampshire resident Amber Ferreira who ran 51:31, two minutes ahead of the 2nd place woman. This was the largest field of snowshoers ever at a National event.

WINTER CROSS TRAINING-
-
With NEPA now under snow cover, temperatures now too cold,and daylight getting longer ,it's time to think about training on snow rather than running thru it.
To avoid those slippery ,slushy roads, try cross country skiing or snowshoeing.
Both activities will get you heart pumping as fast or more than if you were running.
Dressing for these winter sports is similar to that of running, so no new investment is need in that area.
Cross country skis and snowshoes are not that expensive and rentals are often available. And if you want to be competitive there are races in both disciplines including the Pa. State Snowshoe Championships being held at Nescopeck State Park on Feb 15th.
Many well known trail runner have may the change to snowshoes and have placed very high in Nationals races.
By watching the winter Olympics , you can get a feeling as to what the sports are like. Then get out and try them.
Contact Frank Gaval for info on cross country skiing, snowshoeing and biathlon.(570-788-4219 barb123@ptd.net)
Frank will be glad to give you free lessons and provide you with some equipment. For more info on snowshoeing check out snowshoeracing.com Make winter fun!

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RUNNING CLUBS! |
Without Running club support many local races would not be possible. Although many races may not be involved with organizing the race, area running clubs may help promote, organize or even time events. Clubs dues are relatively inexpensive. Many clubs issue newsletters, have parties, group runs, get togethers and issue discount cards for some stores who sell running apparel.
