Waterloo Weather Forecast, IA (50702) SNOW SHUFFLE ENTRIES CLICK HERE SNOW SHUFFLE UPDATE - IMPORTANT 2009 DATE IS DECEMBER 12TH TIME IS 9:00 GEORGE WYTH STATE PARK ENTRY INFO ON ENTRY METHODS PAGE SALVATION ARIMY WILL BENEFIT FROM RACE UNI Panther Pacers are in the Christmas Spirit! 2008 RESULTS HAVE A LINK BELOW, SCROLL DOWN The weather was perfect with a 33 degree (little windy) start for 190 bundled up Snow Shufflers.  And they did have to shuffle through some snow on the trail, which beats ice any day.  Nobody had to be cold before the race as the lodge and tents were heated for everyone.  The two outdoor fires had people close to them the entire time, as well. This year's winner, Ermin  Sabljakovic, added a 3rd Snow Shuffle Shovel to his collection (he won the very first Shuffle) while Sandy Sabelka took home the coveted shovel for the women. Thanks to all the people who dressed up this year.  We had multiple Santa's and lots of elves, along with a stable of reindeer.  The official North Pole Santa handed out candy bars, runners gloves and for a lucky 50 a nice pair of FOX RIVER wool socks.  Must have been a great year, no coal was seen leaving Santa's bag.  We are sending the Salvation Army over $500 from the kettle as people gave generously. Thanks to everyone who donated, the extra door prize drawing was fun. 2007 A bitter 7 degrees is the temperature that met runners and walkers at the 7th annual Snow Shuffle.  A total of 215 hearty souls put on multiple layers of technical gear, stuffed lots of sock into the old shoes and shuffled through about 3 inches of snow along the wooded bike trails of George Wyth State Park.    One indoor and two outdoor fires, coupled with a large heated tent, made it so nobody had to freeze before race time. Santa and his helper Elf passed out gifts all morning.  The gloves were very popular, for good reason.  After those dissapeared everyone else got a custom wrapped Hershey's chocolate bar with a wrapper worth $2 off the next Trekman race.  Inside the wrappers and on some gloves were hidden tickets good for 3 free pairs of Mizuno shoes and $100 worth of gift certificates to the Runner's Flat. The road conditions moved the run to the snow covered trails for the first time.  The distance wound up being 2.9 miles, but most people said it felt like more thanks to the snow underfoot the entire way. Only one person is known to have fallen officially, and that would be me.  Oh yes, right in front of the registration tent in front of everyone.  Really, it didn't hurt... Scott and Sarah Gall came in first, capturing their 4th or 5th consecutive and coveted SNOW SHOVEL awards. Thanks to everyone who came out, many dressed festively in head gear and clothing.  The volunteers deserve a special pat on the back for standing in the cold for so long.Trekman
