TOGWOTEE WINTER CLASSIC is a not-for-profit fatbike event taking place on groomed snow and/or snowmobile trails at 8000' to 9,600' in elevation on the Continental Divide under extreme winter conditions. The TWC goes way back in fatbike history as the longest standing, contiguous fat bike race in the Lower 48.

Established in 2008, TWC has always been a grassroots, self-supported, free, and no frills ride connecting folks in the Greater Teton Region and Wind River High Country with communities all across Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana and many other states. We're proud to share this incredible region with everyone and look forward to riding with you.

GET INVOLVED / HELP OUT
If you would like to contribute or donate in some way to this effort, please contact aaron@destinationreroute.com

The Togwotee Winter Classic has long been a community-driven event, kept afloat by many local entities - bike shops, trail organizations, volunteer & staff grooming, route scouting, and many small businesses in Wyoming & Idaho. We couldn't keep this going without the helping hand of everyone.

Follow Togwotee Winter Classic on Facebook for up-to-date info leading to the race.

Organized by Fatbike Advocates of the Tetons, Aaron Couch & Derrick Nobman
