WINTER FUN
IN DA U.P.
Polar Roll is the largest fat-bike event in Michigan and a proud member of the Great Lakes Fat Bike Series. Fat-bikers can choose from the thirty-mile event aptly named “Danny’s Hills” or the shorter fifteen-mile event dubbed “Half the Hills”. Snowshoers are welcome to give the course a shot with the new Angry Bear 15K Snowshoe Run. Winter in the Upper Peninsula is unpredictable and can get downright nasty so come prepared. Polar Roll weekend is an opportunity to celebrate our ability to win against the elements – don’t let winter keep you on the sideline!
Whack Jobs Film: Fat-Bike Grooming in Michigan
Da U.P. is a unique place, containing 29% of Michigan’s land mass and only 3% of its population. We’ve got some real wack jobs up here. They spend the summer building grooming equipment & mapping out trail, and spend the winter grooming, riding and waiting out the storms so they can go groom and ride some more.
OUR SPONSORS
We could not put on this event without these companies to support us. Each and every one of these groups have a commitment to winter adventure in the U.P. and contribute to make the event into what it is today.
Prepare for anything with our training plans
We’ve partnered with Rob Lee, one of the top endurance coaches in the world, to build training plans for every level of rider. If you’re looking for a personal best on our short race or you’re trying to reach the podium on our long race we’ve got ya covered. The weather up here in The U.P. is unpredictable, prepare for it.
