Brief Description

Join your fellow fat tire friends on May 4, 2013 for the fourth running of Mud, Sweat and Beers Fat Fest. Riders will launch and finish at Mt. Holiday Ski and Recreational Area overlooking beautiful Grand Traverse Bay. Adult racers will travel over the beautiful VASA Trail before heading back to Mt. Holiday's stadium liken finish.

Additional Information

All proceeds from the event will support Mt. Holiday, the Midwest's only non-profit 501c3 ski/mountain biking/frisbee golf area. Capital improvement projects include groomer, magic carpet, lift repairs and rental equipment.

Choose either a 22 mile, 12 mile, <2 mile and kids' mini-loop (we like to call it Mud, Sweat and Root Beers.) Local brews will be tapped for adult riders, who can enjoy the kids' race later in the day while sampling TC's best.

The Pale Ale will be perfect for those looking to stretch their legs and get out side after the long winter. Take on the Stout (called Stout for a reason) if you want to "man up" a bit more.

The Ginger Ale (<2 miles, non-timed) perfect for newer riders, kids who want a challenge and families looking to ride together. ***This is not a flat course and requires several difficult climbs and descents.*** Inexperienced children should stick with Root Beer.

All tracks will have plenty of heart starting climbs and breathtaking down hill sections. The finish will be special with the return of the Mud Pit

22 and 12 mile races will have the following categories for both men and women:
* Elite
* Expert
* Sport
* Beginner
* Clydesdale
* Tandem
* Single Speed/Fixed

Ginger Ale will be grouped by age and gender and will not be timed.

Root Beer entrants will be grouped by boys and girls in the following categories:
* 9 and Under
* 10 and over
