Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO INSPIRE YOUTH TO EXPERIENCE OUTDOOR ADVENTURES THROUGH MOUNTAIN BIKING AND TRAILS, WITH A FOCUS ON BUILDING SELF-ESTEEM AND STRONG MINDS, ACTIVE HEALTHY LIFESTYLES, AND TRAIL STEWARDSHIP.
EMPOWERING PEOPLE TO BECOME THE BEST VERSION OF THEMSELVES THROUGH OUTDOOR ADVENTURE.
MARJI GESICK 100 BIKE RACE - KNOWN AS THE "HARDEST SINGLE-DAY MOUNTAIN BIKE RACE IN AMERICA." THIS RACE IN WHICH 60% OF RACERS FAIL TO FINISH, IS THE LARGEST EVENT IN THE NATIONAL ULTRA ENDURANCE SERIES. IT ENCOURAGES MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE THEIR COMFORT ZONE TO CREATE THEIR BEST-SELF, WHERE THE PURPOSE OF THE EVENT IS NOT WINNING, BUT FINISHING THE RACE. TO FOSTER INCLUSIVITY AND EFFECT CHANGE WITHIN THE SPORT, WOMEN ARE PERMITTED TO SIGN UP EVEN AFTER THE EVENT IS SOLD OUT. DOING SO HAS ENCOURAGED MORE WOMEN TO RACE AND HAS RESULTED IN OVER 25% OF THE FIELD BEING FEMALE IN A TRADITIONALLY MALE-DOMINATED SPORT.
CRUSHER ADVENTURE RACE - ENHANCED GRAVEL ADVENTURE FOCUSED ON RIDERS OF ALL ABILITIES AND AGE LEVELS. THIS EVENT FEATURES A FLEXIBLE FORMAT THAT ALLOWS RACERS TO DECIDE WHEN THEY WANT TO COMPLETE THEIR EVENT ANY TIME DURING THE SPECIFIED EVENT WINDOW (90-DAYS). THE COURSE IS DESIGNED TO CHALLENGE RIDERS OF ALL SKILLS AND ABILITIES, WHILE REMAINING APPROACHABLE FOR THE MOST ENTRY-LEVEL RIDER. THE CRUSHER IS MORE THAN A RACE, IT IS AN ADVENTURE, AN EXPERIENCE THAT PITS INDIVIDUALS AGAINST THEMSELVES, AND ENCOURAGES PARTICIPANTS TO WORK TOGETHER TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR GOALS. WHEN THEY'RE NOT ENJOYING THE EVENT EXPERIENCE, THE CRUSHER COMMUNITY IS INCREDIBLY ACTIVE ACROSS OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS PROVIDING SUPPORT AND EDUCATION FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO JOIN THE FAMILY.
POLAR ROLL FAT BIKE RACE - HELD IN FEBRUARY, RACERS COMPETE ON MOUNTAIN BIKES THAT HAVE EXTREMELY WIDE TIRES SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO PERFORM IN COLD SNOWY CONDITIONS. A GOAL OF THE EVENT IS TO KEEP PEOPLE EXCITED, MOTIVATED AND OUTDOORS DURING A TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN SEASONAL DEPRESSION BECOMES A BATTLE FOR MANY. THE POLAR ROLL WAS RECOGNIZED AS "EVENT OF THE YEAR" BY THE GOVERNOR'S FITNESS AWARDS AND HAS BEEN DEEMED A SIGNATURE EVENT BY THE MICHIGAN FITNESS FOUNDATION. THIS EVENT BRINGS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TO MARQUETTE COUNTY EVERY YEAR TO CELEBRATE AND PROMOTE ACTIVE LIFESTYLES.
