A key part of the experience is the authentic buildings and a picture-perfect postcard setting! Having close to one million lights adorning the heritage buildings, trees and fences creating a one-of-a-kind magical backdrop for this 4th annual snowshoe race and its annual Alight at Night Festival (Dec. 1 to Jan 6) …a true winter wonderland! But wait! Yes the lights will still be on for this race!. Once you leave the outside area of the village you best be wearing a headlamp to locate the single track open field flagged course. This 5km loop is rather flat with the exception of one hill that will be climbed 2 times for 5km runners and 4 times for the Dion points series 10km race.
