Barnes Corners,
NY- The 19th annual SNIRT Run, hosted by the Barnes Corners Sno-Pals snowmobile
club, is set to take place on Saturday, March 30. The event is scheduled
earlier than usual this year after the town of Montague passed a local law
last fall banning motorized vehicle events from Town roads between April 1
and May 15 each year.
Thousands of
riders are expected in Lewis County for the annual event this weekend.
Participants are reminded to keep to the posted route and avoid roads that
have been closed to the event, including Lee Gulf Road and Parker Road, in
addition to private property and the local ATV trail system as this is a
road only event. After a resolution was passed unanimously by the Lowville
Town Board during their March 21 meeting, all Town of Lowville roads will
be closed to ATV/UTV use during the event this year as well.

Upon

shows the designated route and legal “open” roads to use for the event.
Once registered, you may start from any one of the participating businesses
listed on the card. You will be given a sticker to place on your ATV to let
law enforcement know that you are a participant in the event. Every
participant has to go to at least 5 stops to make up a 5
card poker hand. If a participant wants to better their odds, they
can go to additional 2 stops. When you return, you
may draw a maximum of 7 cards. All participants must be back prior to 6:00
PM to the Barnes Corners Sno-Pals Groomer Barn or Timberview to draw cards
or be disqualified. No exceptions. The certain
roads that were opened for the event will be closed at 8 p.m. This year’s
grand prize is a new Polaris Sportsman 450 partially donated by Waite
Polaris and the Polaris Corporation. You must be a registered participant
to be eligible for the prize. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top 20 poker
hands. There will also be a 50-50 drawing. You do not need a Lewis County
ATV Trail Permit for this event, as this is a road only event.
