Tubbs Romp to Stomp Out Breast Cancer Comes to Summit County Colorado

The seventh annual Tubbs Romp to Stomp out Breast Cancer, one of the largest snowshoe events in the nation, is set for March 7 at the Frisco Nordic Center, and organizers are encouraging participants to register early — or risk being shut out. Event organizers announced Thursday that a participation cap of 2,000 will be placed on the event, and registration is up this year nearly 80 percent over last year. Day-of-event registration likely will not be available.

The event, which last year attracted some 2,200 snowshoers and raised more than $131,000 for the Denver affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is expected to sell out, according to site coordinator Joan Davids.“It is major,” she said. “We are looking to raise over $125,000, but will need everyone’s help.”Frisco — one of five communities across the country to host such an event — is an ideal setting, according to director Wendy Miller, because it is a short drive from Denver and offers scenic trails and plenty of room for gathering — as well as great support from the town and the Frisco Nordic Center.“The Frisco event grew by 400 participants from the year before to reach 2200” Miller said. “We think might be the largest snowshoe event in the world.” Tubbs Snowshoes, the prime sponsor, will have a limited supply of snowshoes available for free use for participants. The event will start at 7:30 a.m. with a pancake breakfast for participants sponsored by Wells Fargo. For more information on the event or to sign up in advance visit the Romp To Stomp website.
