Description
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.
The race will be held on the Otter Trail loop. The new 90 Minute Category Trail Loop course is 2 miles of high speed wide trail and a tight twisting single track section. The 45 Minute Category Trail Loop will be all wide open beginner friendly trail perfect for the fat bike enthusiast just getting into racing. Each lap in will add its own new fat tire challenges. Helmets are required for rider safety.
All races start at 10am.
Races will be started in waves of 10 riders to reduce congestion at the start line. The first two waves will be seeded from the top racers from the 2020 Fat Chance race.
Racers will be required to wear a mask at the start line but may remove it after they have begun the race. We ask that spectators to not stand at the start/finish lines to help reduce crowds and instead please spread out along the course to cheer on your racers. Spectators are asked to wear a mask while in attendance.
