Tubbs Romp to Stomp: Back for Another Year of Stomping

RompLogo_vertTubbs Romp to Stomp Out Breast Cancer Snowshoe Series® makes its return this winter season with nine events across Canada and the US. Romp to Stomp is North America’s largest snowshoe series and is perfect for snowshoers of all levels and ages! The decade-old series has raise more than $2.2 million for Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in support of breast cancer education and research.

Romp to Stomp enthusiast, Velma Hodge of New Jersey, has set a goal to participate in every Romp location in the US over the next couple of years. Hodge has already accomplished over half her goal. “My cancer journey helped me be better at setting and achieving goals. This is one that I am committed to. In some small way I can give back or help someone else who may be starting out on their cancer journey by raising some funds or showing them that if I can do it, then they can too,” said Hodge.

Romp participants  can look forward to joining the festive, family-friendly fun on the groomed 3k or 5k snowshoe courses. Each event will feature goody bags for all participants, great giveaways, survivor tributes, and prizes for top racers and fundraisers. Free demo snowshoes will also be offered by Tubbs Snowshoes on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The Tubbs Romp to Stomp encourages the whole family to get involved with the Lil Romper program, offering a discounted registration fee for kids ages 6-12, free registration for Lil Bitty Rompers 0-5, and the Lil Romper Dash for Rompers 12-years-old and under.
