About
Fat Free will be run as a Last One Standing Elimination Race (LOSER).
This will be a multi-lap race on short, 2.5 - 3 km courses, but on each lap, all riders will stop at the start/finish line, and the last few riders will be eliminated. This will continue until only 2 riders remain, then it's a showdown!
​
We've already had our first event and it was a hit!
