2020 DION Brighton Snowshoe Race - Results
The Dion Brighton Snowshoe Race took place on Saturday, January 25, 2020 at the Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area. This was the second race in the Dion Ontario Snowshoe Running Series.
A mix of rain, freezing rain and snow made travel to the race a challenge again for the second race in a row, but those who made the drive were treated to a beautiful route, even though the snow was a bit soft from the earlier rain.
Josh Loveless was the first athlete to finish in a time of 38:55 over the 6.7km course. Bernard Abarquez finished second in the mens race in 38:58, followed by Mike Mackett in third in 39:21.
Melissa McKiel won the women’s race in a time of 43:23. Lisa Leskien finished second in 44:14, followed by Lisa Bootsma in third in 48:30.
Points were awarded for each participant in the race towards the Dion Ontario Snowshoe Running Series.
A huge thank you to race director Erin McDougall and his team of volunteers for putting together such an awesome snowshoe race in challenging weather conditions. A special thank you to all race sponsors as well.
