September 21, 2011 (Quebec City, QC) – The 2012 Snowshoe World Championship will take place near Quebec City, March 8th-11, 2012 with Dan Des Rosier as the race director. The event took place in Japan last year, and in Vancouver, BC in 2010 during the Winter Olympics. The previous two Snowshoe Worlds prior to that were in 2007 and 2006 on the Dachstein Glacier in Austria.

Jimmy Gobeil of Canada finished in 4th place in 2007 and David Leporho of Quebec is currently the defending World Champion after winning in Japan last year and will, therefore, have a fierce race as he aims to defend his title on home turf.
