We're a little late coming across this New York Times article, but it's so cool that we just couldn't resist.
It's called Sweating in Snowshoes at the Beach, and it describes three New Yorkers who were training for the 2009 North Pole Marathon. As New York didn't have snow for them to train on, they decided to run on the beach in snowshoes!
It turns out that the 2009 North Pole Marathon has already happened- on April 7, 2009, thirty-eight participants completed the sixth annual event. Competitors wore snowshoes or trail running shoes depending on snow conditions.
What do you think of a North Pole Marathon? Would you ever do it? What's the most extreme winter sport you've done? Ever snowshoed on the beach?
