SCHEDULE
The traces of a FATMAN or a FATGIRL (fatbike)
The call of the abominable is creating new echos this year. The call is louder and the challenge may seem insurmountable. We know that only those reaching the end of the 2nd night can say they have conquered two monsters.
Set out in search of these monsters and leave your tracks on Mount Orford and Lake Memphremagog. Be part of the group of Fatman/Fatgirls who are willing to tackle the challenge and try to defeat the Abominables.
Only one male and female participant will be declared the Fatgirl and Fatman of the 2023 edition of LTHM.
Will you be that person?
