Our first measurable snow makes it official – time to sign the dotted line and get ready to ROLL. Bike (or hike) and Snowshoe events of fifteen and thirty-miles are your choices. Top secret changes to the courses – so secret Danny doesn’t even know what we’re doing yet! Sunday Pank-duro is being replaced with group Adventure Rides. The After Party is moving and will be better than ever. Don’t miss it!

Registration opens Sunday morning at 6am Yooper (Eastern) Time. To all of our friends in Wisco, 6am Yooper Time is 5am Cheesehead time. For a little added drama it also happens to be the end of daylight savings so y’all lose an hour. You’re welcome!

A word of caution. Polar Roll sold out last year before lunch and people were left on the outside looking in all winter long! Marji Gesick sold out this month in 3-minutes. The first leg of the race starts Sunday morning, be ready to roll!

It’s all about community.

While a lot of races out there are run by for-profit companies, that’s not the case for Marji Gesick, Polar Roll and The Crusher. All of our events are productions of the 906 Adventure Team, a 501(c)3 whose mission is to empower people to become the best version of themselves through outdoor adventure. We don’t have a large staff of people (two, to be exact) or significant overhead, and that enables us to donate a significant portion of race revenues in two ways:

1. Since 2015, we’ve given back more than $125,000 to the trail-builders of RAMBA, NTN, Sisu Dirt Crews, WinMan and the DCNT.
2. We also support youth adventure programs in three communities, investing over $35,000 this year alone in equipment, training, and gear to remove barriers for all kids. Our summer and after-school programs now have over 350 participants, and spots fill up as quickly as Marji Gesick. There is a need we’re trying to fill: to connect kids with their communities and get them off devices.
