Join us for our annual BigFoot Glowshoe event being held on the Michigan Tech Trails! The event will be a glowing good time - all are welcome and no snowshoeing experience is required. Pre-registration is required and includes beanies, glowsticks and more!

You will be guaranteed snowshoes during the time you registered for if you purchased Event + Rental Option. Rental snowshoes are NOT available for participants weighing under 120 pounds. Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your time slot and no later than 20 minutes before your time slot ends. Each time slot is slated for an hour. After registration is complete, an email will be sent as a confirmation of your purchase. Michigan Tech students, please bring your Michigan Tech ID.
 

We are actively seeking for volunteers for this event! Volunteer information can be found here.
