Winona Snow Bomb
February 10, 2018 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
About The Snow Bomb:
The 5th annual Snow Bomb is a fat bike race/ride set in the Mississippi River valley in Winona, Minnesota. This year’s Snow Bomb is part of the City of Winona’s Winter Carnival and immediately following the race/ride, a snowshoe race will use the same course. Think of it as a 5K, on fat tires, in the snow, and up and down hills. Snow Bomb is brought to you by the Winona Area Mountain Bikers (501c3) and partners, Winona Parks & Recreation, Recreation Alliance of Winona (501c3), and Adventure Cycle & Ski.
