Last Chance for Snowshoe Rentals & T-Shirts!

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!


Can't Get Enough Snowshoeing?!

This is your chance to strap on some snowshoes and embrace your inner amphibian. Light the night as you bound, stomp, and scramble through the snow in search of Frosty Frogger's elusive treasure treats.


This after-hours, glow-up snowshoe adventure is equal parts scavenger hunt, hill climb, and ridiculous winter fun. Whether it’s your first time on snowshoes or you just enjoy doing silly things outside in the cold, this is your excuse... don't miss it!
