Feb. 3, 2010 — Manchester Running Company has announced the remainder of the MRC Snowshoe Series races (Feb. 7 and 14) have been canceled.  We do not anticipate enough snow for the race on Feb. 7th and have determined that the best action is to discontinue the series for the year at this point.  We greatly appreciate the support for the races this year and hopefully 2011 will give us more snow!
