SnowDash Extreme Mixes Up Winter Fitness
Races like the SnowDash Extreme in Winterpark ensure there is no off season when it comes to adventure. With snow pits replacing mud pits, adventure was back on the table! The race started to jamming music and we were off trudging through a mix of snow packed trails and fresh powdered trails shooting straight up hill. (Yak Tracks are recommended!) Of course the obstacles are what made the race stand out. My favorite was the log carry. We wasted no time slinging a log over our shoulder and running a lap that started on a steep incline. Any chills we had in our bones were erased. And even more so after running up a steep portion of the backcountry trail. Another obstacle forced us to hit the ground and crawl under neon colored ropes on our hands and knees. Towards the finish I could hear plenty of hooting and hollering as racers slid down a hill right into the finish. Even better than your typical sprint!
Fit5280 also puts on the Retro Run each year. The goal: to bring back the fitness styles of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s to the streets of the USA… and to have a retro good time!
