Snowshoe for the Cure – Frisco 2016
Snowshoe for the Cure will be a fun intersection of Pink, Happiness and lots of Hope this weekend in Frisco. Susan G. Komen Colorado has partnered with the Town of Frisco and Frisco Nordic Center to continue the tradition of snowshoe fun and community spirit. This event which has raised over 1 million dollars since its inception is focused on fighting breast cancer. Susan G. Komen Colorado has always been a partner of this event, but this year they are bringing their own passion and considerable love of events to Frisco as a full fledged event organizer.
This year will feature a 3k, 5k and a little something for our smallest snowshoers. Here is the schedule:
3K – 9:25 a.m. start
Join us and hundreds of your fellow snowshoeing friends at the beautiful Nordic Center in Frisco! The awesome folks have groomed the trail just for you as you meander through 3K of wintry trails.
