About
Join us on September 7th for a fun filled bike race featuring a mix of some of Oneida County's most scenic gravel roads and a few trails in Minocqua Winter Park's vast trail system. It will be a truly unique race experience!
Choose from three distances: Big Nut 40 mile, Little Nut 20 mile, and Mini Nut 3 mile. Both the Big Nut and the Little Nut end the race with a climb to the top of Squirrel Hill. Enjoy the view as you coast your way down to the finish line! Coffee and muffins generously supplied by Gather.
Stick around after the races to enjoy food, craft beer from Rocky Reef Brewing, bike demos from Chequamegon Adventure Company and BJ's Sports Shop, and more! The hiking trails and disc golf course will re-open following the last finisher. All race participants are encouraged to play a round-borrow bags with discs are available!
This race also serves as a fundraiser for the park with all proceeds going right back to trails and facilities maintenance! Thank you for your support!
