Since its inception in 1983, the Chequamegon MTB Festival has built a popularity and reputation that is unmatched in the sport today. From the 27 hardy cyclists who lined up to challenge the unknown trails of the Chequamegon in the first year, to the sold out limited field of 3,000 the Festival has earned a deserved reputation of one of the nation’s great grassroots events. The unparalleled success of the event is a combination of key special event factors. The rolling glacial terrain of the area's forests provides point-to-point race courses that are as beautiful as they are challenging. Combine this with unbounded community welcome and a tremendous volunteer effort. Tie it all together with the support of major sponsor Trek and a cast of generous supporting sponsors. The result is the off road bicycle event, now owned and produced by Life Time Fitness, which sets the benchmark for quality and popularity. With a field limit of 2,100 participants, the Chequamegon 40 is the main event of the weekend. While a few compete for the chance to be called champion of the 40 miler, the rest of the field is made up of citizen's class athletes in it for the adventure and personal challenge inherent in the sport. A concurrently run 16 mile companion event, the Short & Fat, offers a challenging but equally exciting back woods cycling experience to an additional 900 cyclists. Filled with activities that mom, dad and both the children can enjoy, the Chequamegon weekend offers fun for all. With a combination of friends and family it is not just a race, it’s a really great time. CHEQUAMEGON & LIFE TIME FITNESS ATHLETIC EVENTS FACEBOOK COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
