Just like last year, racers will ride a beautiful groomed trail through River Bend’s forest, prairie, and river bottoms.

We can’t be sure it’ll be as delightfully frosty as last year! See the 2016 results here, and on Facebook, photos of racers and of the event.

To suit a wide range of fatbike riders, we are offering three race classes:

  • advanced: four laps of the course, 16 miles total
  • intermediate: three laps, 12 miles
  • beginner: two laps, 8 miles

Register online now at the discounted rate of $25 or at River Bend on race day for $30. Note also that we’ve made plans for a back-up date in case uncooperative weather prevents us from running the race on January 14.

One thought on “Registration now open for the Snow Crush Fatbike Race and Fundraiser – Saturday, January 14, 2017”

  1. Is there any need for work to be done in advance of this event (i.e. Friday the 13th)? I’ll be out of town the day of the event, but am available Friday for course prep/event setup. On the bright side, I might be back town in time for a beer!
