The IditaFAT will offer one or two loop distances of 12k or 25k “ish” distances with a Le Mans start. Winona Forest is located east of Lake Ontario and receives 250 to 300 inches of snow per season. Winona is home to some 30 miles of cross country ski, snowshoe, hiking, and mountain biking trails. The course will be on ski trail widths of 6 to 10 feet. Under the best conditions the hills are rideable but as with any event conditions are subject to change. The IditaFAT Bike Race truly distinguishes itself from other races, as Winona's experienced crew of volunteer groomers, many of whom are fat bikers themselves, maintain the trails multiple times a week, using a diverse arsenal of equipment.
The race is limited to 80 cyclists. This is truly a Fatbike event and tires less than 3.7 will not be allowed! There will be awards after the race and merchandise to be raffled off to participants. There will be homemade soup and food afterwards. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Winona Forest Recreation Association to help maintain grooming machinery and management of the trails. We are planning a “tour” ride afterwards.
The race will take place snow or no snow-its all part of the adventure! Race organizers reserve the right to cancel the race in the event of extreme weather conditions. Race fees are nonrefundable.
