SAFETY
We will be doing everything we can to ensure your safety but you must be prepared for highly variable conditions. Temperatures can fluctuate quickly. There will be a rest, medical and food station set up on the course to stop at along the way.
The course is machine groomed for fat biking and has a variety of terrain that's narrow in sections and more open in others. More details will be sent to registered competitors as we get closer to the date.
All participants will be required to wear appropriate gear for the conditions and a helmet.
