Running snowshoe recs

[jniehof]

While I'm opening up my wallet, any recommendations for a good running snowshoe? I'm thinking my Lightnings probably wouldn't hold up to running, and I'd like something with a binding that fits a trail runner moreso than a boot. USSSA-legal is a plus (even though I don't have short-term racing plans), and a little less aggressive is fine (probably not running a Presi Traverse anytime soon.) A lot of the recommendations I'm seeing online aren't available. Affordable/inexpensive/cheap would also be a plus.

One of the most popular brands for running is Dion - a modular system so you can change the binding/cleat based on your needs. They also are the sponsor of the Granite States Series.

Dion and Northern Lites both come to mind when snowshoe races come to mind. Dion is also in VT if that makes a difference for you.

I'm personally a user of the Northern Lite Elites but I don't race, I use them as regular backcountry snowshoes...
