Genesis Adventures Partners with Tubbs Snowshoes

Connecticut based event production company, Genesis Adventures, Inc. announced a partnership with the Vermont based Tubbs Snowshoes Company to act as title sponsor of GA's two event winter adventure racing series. The series, titled as the Tubbs Snowshoes Winter Adventure Race Series, will consist of two events in New York State and Massachusetts.

In it's third year, the winter adventure race series will consist of snowshoeing, trail running, cross country skiing and navigation. Teams comprised of two racers, from first time racers to elite level teams, will complete the course together and are required to remain within 100 yards of each other throughout the entire event. The races will cover up to 25 miles and will take teams between 3 and 5 hours from start to finish.

"We are excited to again sponsor Genesis Adventures," said Paul Adams of Tubbs Snowshoes. "The adventure race segment will only continue to grow and attract more athletes to snowshoeing as a great sport and off-season training tool." Tubbs Snowshoes will provide its Catalyst race snowshoe as prizes to the winning teams. In addition, Tubbs will provide snow shoes for racers to try. "Tubbs was a great partner in 2004, providing much needed support and prizes for the race, we are excited to have them on board as title sponsor for the 2005 races," said Jon Fontane, Sponsorship Director for Genesis Adventures, Inc. Additional sponsors include Clif Bar, Nike ACG and Rudy Project sunglasses.
