Continuing the ongoing saga of North Dakota's first fatbike-only race, the Bikecicle Fat Fifteen uses 15-20 miles of Greenway trails and the surface of the icy Red River of the North. With multiple warming stations, this is the perfect race for both rookies and veterans to fatbiking! It's an ENDracing event, so be prepared for anything.
This race is presented in conjunction with the Northern Star Cycling Club, who have run the event for the past few years after taking it over from the UND Cycling Club, who started it in 2010.
