It's the big finale! Beard of Zeus is presented by Northern Michigan Mountain Bike Association and Short's Brewing Company. The last race of the Short's Brewing Fat Bike Series plays out in front of 1,000 spectators at the Suds and Snow Microbrew Festival. We wrap up winter, the series and the points picture with one of the fastest, coolest races of the season.
The course, groomed by NMMBA, is just over 3 miles in length, with racers putting in as many laps as possible in 90 minutes for the Long race and 45 minutes for the Short's race. Come by the start/finish at 1:29:59, and you can keep going! Come by at 1:30:00, and you're done.
The Drift - we offer a 28-mile marathon or a 1/2 marathon. We are hopeful that next year we will be able to offer a 100-mile (permit pending). It is located in Wyoming, at the northern base of the Wind River Range. Participants (“Drifters”) may run, bike, or ski.

Canmore Nordic Centre Fat Bike Guidelines
Fat biking is not permitted on groomed cross-country ski trails except where crossings are necessary. Fat biking is permitted on a signed section of Centennial cross-country ski trail ONLY to provide access to our EKG East race loop. Stay to the left on this ski trail. DO NOT ride in the machine-made tracks. Fat bikers must yield to skiers at all ski trail crossings. Cross ski tracks at a perpendicular angle. Avoid mixing dirt riding with snow riding.
Only “fat bikes” (with tires measuring 3.7 inches wide or wider) are permitted. Bikes with regular mountain bike tires are not permitted, as narrow tires are more likely to leave deep ruts in groomed trails.
Pre race briefing will take place at 9:30 a.m. at the start / finish area inside the
Biathlon Stadium at the Canmore Nordic Centre. Race start will be 10:00 a.m.
