I ran my first snowshoe race, yup race, on January 9th. I had a blast and even got a friend and her husband to tag along for the fun--note that while an advid trail runner and snowshoer, she had not raced in snowshoes and she took home second overall woman. I did well and came in twelth overall for the women and 2nd in my age group! Woohoo.
See the article below from a website where race standings are posted for the proof (I bolded my name) and even a photo of the race start that ran with the subsequent article. Note: You may recognize a blue jacketed woman tossing up some powder. . .

Olde Salem Greens Snowshoe Classic
Salem, MA, January 9, 2010
Photo by Bill Woolley
Snowshoe racing's popularity continues to explode in New England --- witness the 191 finishers (and 214 entrants) at the first Olde Salem Greens Snowshoe Classic --- the 2nd largest snowshoe race ever in the Northeast United States. The team from Salem Recreation Department and Dungeon Rock Racing put on a first class event; something that snowshoers are used to from it's New hampshire rebirth under acidotic RACING's Granite State Snowshoe Series. Ben Newphew led one of the strongest fields in Eastern Mass/New Hampshire snowshoeing history by pulling away from acidotic RACING's Geiff Cunningham and Charles Therriault for a 22:41 - 23:27 - 24:12 win. Gail Gordon of the host Dungeon Rock Racing took the women's title in 32:33. Renee Bousquet and Sarah Phillips took 2nd and 3rd respectively.
acidotic RACING's 70 year old Gary Reuter traveled down from Maine to win the 60+ title in 36:37 - quite probably the top performance of the day --- well except for the team putting on the race. Next up on the Eastern Mass/New Hampshire snowshoe racing scene is the 'challenging' Feel Good Farm 8K in Lyndeborough, NH on January 16. Feel Good Farm features 4 trips up and down Moose Mountain --- enough to satisfy the toughest snowshoer. Rumor has it there will be 40 pounds of hot Portuguese Kale Soup awaiting the snowshoers at the finish line.
Nighttime snowshoe training runs are also on the calendar at Horse Hill Nature Preserve in Merrimack, NH on select Tuesday and Thursday nights. For more info go to http://www.moosemilers.com/.

Congratulations on your result! I also ran the race but unfortunately met with an unfortunate twist about midway so finished way slower than I would have liked. Probably didn't help that I had giant snowshoes on.
