The first event of the day is the 10-mile fatbike race which winds its way up and down hills around a one mile course consisting of 10 laps. If you have never ridden a fatbike don’t be discouraged, there will be plenty of bikes on site for you to try out.

Come early, practice on the grounds and enter the 10-mile race for a bike of lifetime. Next up on the schedule is the 5km biathlon consisting of snowshoeing and archery. With difficult hills throughout this activity is not for the faint of heart. If you are new to the sport of snowshoeing you may want to wait until the last event of the day which is the 2km go at your own pace snowshoe through the meadow. An easy trek through the snow is the perfect way to discover the sport of snowshoeing and to introduce the whole family to the sport. If you don’t have your own snowshoes, Justin Trails will have plenty of pair’s available on site for you to borrow.
