Bigfoot Snowshoe Event Slated
For more information on this story contact:
The Bigfoot Snowshoe event will be held on Saturday, Feb. 8. The event is sponsored by MTU POWER, a student division of Counseling Services whose primary function is to lead workshops and give presentations to student groups on topics such as alcohol abuse, time management, stress management, depression and date rape.
This year's event will begin in the SDC lobby. There will be 2K, 4K and 6K courses for snowshoers of all ability levels, as well as trail guides from the Arnold Air Society. Demo shoes will be available for those with little or no experience.
Registration for the 6K trail begins at 9 a.m. and registration for the 2K and 4K begins at 10 a.m. It will be held in conjunction with the grand opening of the permanent snowshoe trails that Michigan Tech will be maintaining throughout the winter.
There will be snacks and drinks available for participants both before and after the event, as well as a raffle at the end of the event, which is free to all participants. Some prizes include several pairs of new snowshoes and other snowshoe accessories, outdoor gear, gift certificates to area businesses and much more. The raffle will be held at noon, and participants must be present to win. Each participant will also receive a long sleeved t-shirt included in the price of registration.
Pre-registration fees are $8 for adults and $5 for MTU students and children. Registration the day of the event is $10 for adults and $7 for MTU students and children.
"We encourage you to get outside and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors with us for at least one beautiful Saturday morning," said Dan Hicks, MTU POWER student
