SJWC Snow Shoe Shuffle 5K

Lace up for the 11th Annual SJWC Snow Shoe Shuffle 5K, a refreshing winter event taking place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in scenic Somerset, Kentucky. While the name suggests a 5K, the main competitive events are the 2-Mile Run and 2-Mile Competitive Walk, alongside a lively Fun Run, offering an invigorating experience for all ages and fitness levels. Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 52F and lows near 31F, accompanied by a 20% chance of precipitation, making for a crisp and picturesque winter outing.

This beloved community tradition promises a fun and engaging course that winds through the charming town of Somerset, starting and finishing at 808 Monticello Street, on the campus of Somerset Community College. While specific terrain details are not provided, the "stunning winter scenery" ensures a picturesque backdrop for your effort. The SJWC Snow Shoe Shuffle is more than just a race; it's a meaningful event, with proceeds benefiting the Lake Cumberland Area Heart Walk (American Heart Association) and other valuable community initiatives by the Somerset Junior Woman's Club. The race also serves as a heartfelt tribute, held in memory of Patricia “Trish” Williams Hicks.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the 2-Mile Run, enjoying a brisk 2-Mile Competitive Walk, or participating in the shorter Fun Run, the Snow Shoe Shuffle offers a chance for camaraderie and fresh air. As a well-established annual event, it consistently brings together participants for a memorable winter adventure. While explicit details on aid stations are not available, participants can generally expect post-race refreshments, a common feature for events of this distance.
