Bigfoot Snowshoe Run 2019 Photos 244 Mile Drive 2019 Bigfoot Snowshoe Race was my birthday run and my first snowshoe run!  After discovering how expensive snowshoes were, I bought used snowshoes on Craigslist weeks prior to the run.  They looked hardly used and were a good price.  I tried them out around our yard briefly.  It was different but not as difficult as I had expected. I found a great hotel in Petoskey called the Michigan Inn and Lodge.  I was drawn in by the advertisement of free hair cuts.  I had never heard of a hotel that gave free hair cuts, only free continental breakfast.  The drive up north was very snowy and at times dangerous.  When we got to Petoskey the roads were very icy.  The morning drive to the run was especially icy on back country roads.  It was an extremely beautiful drive with freshly fallen snow.  We saw a lot of snow mobile trails.  The run was located at a cool lodge with an RV Park.
