A community fat bike racing experience for cyclists of all ages and abilities
Mid Week Evenings at Soldier Hollow Nordic Center
On the snow, and under the lights!
The mission of the Mid Week MTB and Fat Bike Series is to provide a consistently fun, challenging mountain bike racing experience at venues throughout the state. Our generous sponsors help us keep our entry fees low, keeping our races accessible to racers of all ages and ability levels. We value a positive, community-focused atmosphere over podium presentations and feature a giveaway stacked with sponsor-provided gear on each evening of racing. All proceeds from season passes and race registrations benefit other Bike Utah programs.

General Race Night Schedule
Important info about these races
-
If you don’t have a fat bike, but would like to race with us, our wonderful partner Jibe Cycleworks has a few demo bikes available for each race. CLICK HERE to see if your size is available.
-
If you didn’t do it already as a part of your registration, you MUST have digitally signed a SHNC waiver to be allowed to participate. CLICK HERE to sign that waiver!
-
We are riding on groomed Nordic trails, and dirt, mud, rocks, etc do not play well with the grooming machine and the skate/classic skis that glide over these trails every day. You WILL NOT be allowed to participate if your bike is dirty (frame or tires) at all. If spring conditions pop up before our race series is over and you ride on dirt/mud, please clean your bike BEFORE you come to our event.
-
We will not always be riding on trails that have lights overhead. Please have a bright handlebar light and/or a bright helmet light.
-
For these races, fat tires are any tire that is 3.8” wide or greater. You may choose to race on a skinnier tire, but please be aware that we will put you in a separate category to keep things fair for all riders.
-
No one is here to qualify for the Olympics or win a big prize purse. Those who take home medals (or at least high fives and kudos) will be the ones who are the most friendly and supportive of all riders on course. Race results may not necessarily be available on race night, but some great sponsor-provided swag will be!

2024 Mid Week Fat Bike Series Sponsors & Parnters
Our sponsors are the backbone of the Mid Week Fat Bike & MTB Series. Without their support, we wouldn't be half the race series we are. Our goal with sponsorships is to help offset race production costs so that 100% of the revenue raised from registration fees can go directly to supporting other Bike Utah programs.
