    Talked to Sam their RD via email. He said registration should be open in about a week or so. Apparently we made a impression on him. He remembered us quit well. Now I'm not sure if that impression was good or bad though.

    Looks like some changes to the event this year. Most notable. Capping it at 500. I believe called that. Oh and the price!


    19th annual

    Bell's Beer Copper Harbor Trails Festival

    September 2, 2012

    *
    Labor Day Weekend

    29 mile & 17 mile

    Cross Country Mountain Bike*Races

    The event name has changed, due to the new title sponsor of the Copper Harbor Trails Club and event - Bell's Brewery...they did not want to promote a competitors product. If you've attended the Fat Tire Festival in the past and enjoyed it, don't worry as the date (Sunday of Labor Day Weekend), afternoon start, race course and festival atmosphere will remain the same...other than the name, only the malt beverages being poured will change!

    Race course inclusive of many of the new trails on the west side of US 41 (same course as 2011). The climbing will be a gut check, while the sustained descents are guaranteed to make you smile (for the most part) :)

    *Mass Race Start @ 2:00pm EST

    Jr. Fat Tire kids race @ 12:30pm

    40 yard “Short Tire”

    3 Mile & 1 Mile XC Races

    Live Music: starts ~ 7:00pm following awards presentation

    Steppin' In It

    on the outdoor stage in the Grant Twp. Park

    and a late night perfomance with the Mojo Perry Band (Psychadelic Blues/Rock)

    @ Zik's Bar & Grill

    PRE-REGISTER HERE

    In an effort to maintain a quality event for all of the racers, the Trails Festival will be capped at the first 500 participants to register!

    $50 Entry Fee Includes:The Race, T-Shirt, Prizes, Food & Entertainment. *Racers must register by August 12 to guarantee availability of a comemorative event T-shirt! (a comemorative pint glass will be otherwise included)

    Dang it- If you don't pre register, the line is REALLY short when you get there. If you do pre register, the line is usually out the darn door...

    Looks like i better pre register this year if I wanna gauranteed spot in the long course.

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    Copper registration is open! If you are planning on going I would get signed up. This is the first year they are capping it. First 500. Last year they had 425ish. The year before was around 300. I believe it will fill up with in a couple weeks. They have been getting a lot of press and the word is out.

    I can't wait.
