Crystal Mountain ~ Iron Fish Distillery Fat Chance Fat Tire Bike Race ~ January 27, 2024

Iron Fish Distillery Fat Chance Fat Tire Bike Race

Fat Chance is the staple of fat biking in Northern Michigan, and is back again for another legendary race at Crystal Mountain with new and familiar faces.

We return to the new course we featured last year at our new Cross-Country Center. The course will offer 360 degree viewing for spectators. The 90-minute race will have single sections to break up the pack and add some excitement to the race! Helmets are required for rider safety.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel the 2023 race due to weather conditions, so this is everyone’s chance for redemption! Even if Mother Nature doesn’t deliver… we have a plan B, so this race is happening rain or shine, snow or dirt.

All races start at 9am.
