Lewis County disappointed about SNIRT cancellation
Feb. 25—LOWVILLE — A statement from Lewis County in response to the cancellation of 2025 SNIRT Run expressed disappointment in the decision. "Lewis County is deeply saddened to learn today that the Board of Directors of the Barnes Corners Sno-Pals voted on Feb. 19 to cancel the 2025 SNIRT Run, an event they have sponsored for the past 19 years," the release stated. The statement clarified that "there have been no new policies or changes to Lewis County regulations since last year's event." It did confirm that the Department of Health requires a Mass Gathering Permit for all events being held with over 5,000 people in attendance. "This type of event also requires insurance due to the liability of opening roads to allow access," the release stated. Jackie Mahoney, director of Recreation, Forestry, and Parks, said her department has attempted to assist with the event, which she felt should continue. "We have met with representatives of the Barnes Corners Sno-Pals multiple times to assist with this year's event," the director said. "We would love to see the event continue, but they must meet the Event Permit requirements to hold the event and help keep everyone safe." The county contends that over the years it has actively supported efforts to facilitate the event — assisting with the necessary paperwork for the Department of Health's Mass Gathering Permit and providing resources through the Emergency Management team. "Multiple county departments — including Highway, Parks, and Emergency Management — together with dedicated volunteer groups, have worked to help make this event a success in previous years," the county release stated. "The goal of the county has always been to support events that bring positive economic and recreational benefits to our community while ensuring public safety and compliance with all current established regulations. We remain open and stand ready to work with event organizers to find solutions that meet the requirements, and we hope to see the SNIRT Run continue in the future."
