RMAR: Arctic Fox Winter Adventure Race

The Arctic Fox Winter Adventure Race is a one-day winter challenge that combines two disciplines Nordic skiing in the morning and fat biking in the afternoon. The event offers participants the chance to test their endurance, navigation, and strategy across two distinct stages on snow-covered trails. Each stage lasts up to three hours, with racers competing solo or in teams (taking on the course together or as a relay) to complete as many checkpoints as possible within the time limit. Whether you’re an experienced adventure racer or new to winter racing, the Arctic Fox Winter Adventure Race delivers a fun, supportive, and unforgettable way to embrace the season and celebrate the spirit of winter adventure.
