Winter fatbiking continues to draw in new riders which has brought us a large increase of events over the past several years. This season should be a great one. Expect to see the return of yearly favorites and numerous new fat tire events. Start planning your calendar now and check back often for updates.
This season's calendar will include all types of winter fatbike events from festivals and races to demos and group rides. Below is a list in chronological order of events in Minnesota and nearby across the border.
