Big Island & Back Winter Events

Mark your calendars, prep your ski equipment, get those fat tires ready, tune up the snowshoes, and pull out your thermals, the 7th annual Big Island & Back Winter Event is going to bigger and better than ever! Saturday, February 8 is the big day!

Course Update: We’re working to create the best course possible for Saturday’s event. This year the race will take place entirely on St. Albans Bay, which is directly east of Excelsior Bay.

Start / Finish Line will be near the MarineMax facility at 141 Minnetonka Blvd. Thank you to MarineMax for allowing our participants to access the bay from their property.

Our course director is planning a 3.3K loop. Each participant will complete 3 laps for the approximate 10K course. In order to create the best course conditions for each division, we will stagger the divisions:
• Skiers (classic and skate) will start at 2:00 – youth division, followed by adult division.
• Snowshoers will start at approximately 2:40.
• Fat Tire Bikes will start at approximately 3:00.

Thank you for understanding that these event changes are necessary to make the event happen this year. The snow conditions on the main lake made it impossible to hold the event on the usual course around Big Island.

More information including directions to the start will be sent to all registered participants.

Don’t miss the after-party at Excelsior Brewing Company for refreshments from Joey Nova’s Tonka Bay, music, awards and door prizes, and of course, beer!

Make a day of it and explore beautiful Excelsior!

Proceeds from this event will be donated to the ICA Food Shelf and Freshwater Society!
