Beast of the East Snowshoe 5k

Spring Mountain

Saturday, January 24th | 8 AM

Gear up for the 2026 Beast of the East Snowshoe 5K, where Spring Mountain turns into a snowy wonderland of questionable life choices. This is the biggest snowshoe 5K in the entire country, so you’ll be tromping along with everyone from elite athletes to folks who just found out snowshoes have a front and a back. The course is great, the cause is noble, and the post-race snacks are to die for… Sign up for this winter (mis)adventure and we’re absolutely certain you’ll love it!!

Tomorrow is the last day to get your race tee... plus snowshoe rentals are almost GONE!

We can't host the Beast of the East without you...

Please VOLUNTEER today!
