About the race
The Abominable Snow Triathlon is a unique winter triathlon held at Cannonsburg Ski Area in Belmont, Michigan. This sprint-distance event features trail running (5K), fat tire biking (10K), and cross-country skiing (approximately 2 miles) on a 12-mile trail system. Participants can compete in various formats including triathlon, duathlon (run/bike), single discipline (run or fat bike), and relay teams.
The courses are mostly single track with technical sections and elevation changes, requiring appropriate winter gear like traction devices and fat bikes with wide tires. The race offers a festive atmosphere with custom medals, food, beer, and a post-race celebration featuring chili and s’mores by local breweries.
