Our mission is to enjoy winter one step at a time!
The Bravehearted Snowshoe Series is a free participation, volunteer run group of snowshoe enthusiasts.
We exist solely to promote participation in snowshoe racing/walking to people of all ages and abilities and want you to join us!
While snowshoeing is its own reward, our members also qualify for end of season series awards and prize drawings!
HISTORY
Our name is inspired by the snowshoer known as Braveheart,
Jim McDonell.
Jim not only organized the series and ran many races, he hand
crafted awards for what was then the Braveheart Snowshoe
Series for 9 years, before retiring form series direction in 2018.
Dave Sykora spent many years helping to run the series, managing
point recording and even hand crafting special awards for our
Mountaineer division.
Tim Zbikowski and Carol Klitzke have been working hard for years for
the sport of snowshoe racing. Not only did they run the Upper
Midwest Snowshoe Series before it transitioned to Braveheart in
2009, support Jim's new series behind the scenes, and give
guidance to the new leadership team, they also run the ever
popular and helpful snowshoeing
website www.cutemoose.net.
All of these snowshoe racing pioneers can be met at events and
races across WI and MN, and are part of the current Bravehearted
Snowshoe Series.
Look out for those handsome kilted fellows.
We are incredibly grateful for their dedication to and leadership in our sport!
