Conditions were ideal and the course was fast for the Dion Frontenac Snowshoe Race.

Racers travelled from as far away as Kitchener, Cornwall, Ottawa, Quebec and the Adirondacks, New York. The race course featured a moderately rolling route over packed snow, with a combination of wide trails for easy passing, to narrow single track trails weaving through the woods.

Nick Best of Ottawa posted the fastest time of the day in the men’s race in a time of 28:32 for the 6.6km course. Jesse Bruce of Toronto followed in 29:51, with Charley Murphy of Toronto in third in 30:46. Alan Cushman of Paul Smith’s College in New York was the top masters in the mens race in 32:42.

In the woman’s race, Celine Best of Gatineau, QC finished first in a time of 35:57. Chloe Mattilio of Paul Smith’s College, NY was second in 39:06, followed by Deborah Berry of Kingston in third in 42:30. Jenn Ross of Merrickville was the top female master in 47:26.

Snowshoe runners of all ability levels took part in the race, from beginning runners to elite racers; from competitors as young as 9 years old to seasoned veterans in their 60’s

This was the second race in the Dion Eastern Ontario Snowshoe Running Series. The series moves to Brighton in two weeks for the Dion Brighton Snowshoe Race on January 31, 2015.
