I am completely new to snowshoeing and would like a snowshoe that I can run in as well as do some hiking in. Can this be done in the Atlas Run Snowshoe? Can you do both activities with this one snowshoe or do you need a snowshoe for running and a snowshoe for hiking? Is there another model that would work for both activities?

These snowshoes would work best for packed trails or more consolidated snow. If you find yourself going out in fresh deep powder then you would do best with a larger non "running" snowshoe. Although in these conditions even a huge snowshoe can sink way in. (only big skis would work better in this case) But if your goal is to mainly explore groomed trails that might still be too unconsolidated for just a boot then these should do great whether walking or running.
