About the race
Mrs. McCormick's Ice House is a winter trail event held on January 16, 2027 at Ontario County Park, with Race HQ at Wilson Lodge on Gannett Hill. The course is a roughly four mile loop that participants may complete once, twice, or three times.
Registration costs $25 plus $3.50 in platform fees and will not increase. A snowshoe race is scheduled to start the day when conditions permit; if the snowshoe is canceled because of conditions, registrants will be allowed to choose one of the running options. The race day course avoids the park's western slope where snow drifts can collect, and the route may change on race day due to trail or weather conditions. The event is the second race in the Common Ground Winter Trail Series, organized by FarFetched Enterprises in collaboration with local partners. Series entrants gain access to bonuses including free entry into one of the series events, series swag, and entry into a random draw for membership in a mug club. Organizers advise suitable winter footwear and traction options such as aggressive tread, traction devices, microspikes, and gaiters.
The event welcomes skis, sleds, and fatbikes; those participants will be served pancakes and hot beverages. Post-race amenities at Wilson Lodge include heated indoor space, restrooms for changing, a variety of hot drinks, pancakes with maple syrup, fresh fruit, and snack options. Parking is available next to the lodge and park roads will be plowed if needed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
