How are these compared to the Atlas Race? Would these be acceptable to use in a snowshoe race, or will I have a significant disadvantage?

Hey, Rob. These are great snowshoes and yes, totally acceptable in a race. You can easily draw comparisons between snowshoe racing and run racing. Atlas Race shoes are absolute racing machines, like racing flats for running. If you're going to be out there gunning for the gold, and you are an elite snowshoe racer for whom ounces matter, you would probably opt for the Race shoe. But think about how many people do running races in running shoes. Millions. And for them, a racing flat doesn't make sense at all.
