2020 DION Winter Goose Chase Snowshoe Race - Results
The Dion Winter Goose Chase Snowshoe Race took place on Sunday, February 2, 2020 at Shades Mills Conservation Area in Cambridge, Ontario. A huge congratulations to everyone who participated!
The weather was not cooperative all week leading up to the race, but a huge accumulation of snow the night before the race insured that the race would be held with snowshoes on great conditions.
The mens race featured a battle between elite snowshoe racers Nick Best of Toronto and Bernie Hogan of Bancroft, with Nick Best coming out on top in 29:49 over the 6.8km course. Hogan’s time was 30:23 to take second place. Third place went to Scott Clark of Simcoe in 34:04.
In the women’s race, Vicki Zandbergen of Kitchener took top honours in a time of 40:41. Second place went to Danielle Ryzer of Aurora in 40:57, followed by Jen Kellett of Cambridge in third in 44:54.
Points were awarded for each participant in the race towards the Dion Ontario Snowshoe Running Series.
A huge thank you to race directors Lisa and Greg Leskien and their team of volunteers for putting together an amazing snowshoe race once again. A special thank you to all race sponsors as well.
