The course returns to THE Point-2-Point format in 2020. Racers will start in downtown Marquette and make their way to the west end via trails groomed specifically for fat-bikes, and some snowmobile trails. The course will challenge your legs with punchy climbs and your bike handling with downhills so fast you’ll be tempted to reach for your brakes. Let it rip. Fat-biking through the Iron Range takes you deep into the Northwoods, across frozen swamps, and up climbs to reveal tailings piles in the distance – a reminder of the area’s mining history.
