Squaw Creek Details

So this is pretty late. Usually we are able to give a little bit more notice and rundown of what's going on sooner than this. Our apologies!!!   We are stoked that the time has come that we can now race our bikes. So..... Here ya go!


Where: Do not take Squaw Creek Road!! If you are heading west bound from Casper on Hwy 220( CY Avenue) take a left on Coates Rd. and head towards the mountain just after the National Guard Armory. If you go past Robertson Road you've gone too far. Stay on said road for approximately 1.6 miles you will cross a cattle guard with the road making a sharp right hand turn. Directly to the left will be the parking. Please be courteous as you travel and park. We are inundating a road and neighborhood that is used to relatively little traffic.


Look for the Fat Fish Trailer to Check in or register if you haven't done so already. 


the time frame will be as follows:


Registration from 5-6:15PM
Kids Race at 6:15
Pre Race Meeting near the Parking Area at 6:25
Race will start at 6:30PM


The race will go backwards this year from years past, and we will race in a clockwise direction. We will try to have maps printed out at the race so you can be prepared at least a little bit mentally for where you need to go. With all of the recent rain, the creeks are running high. Bring warm, dry clothes, a towel and maybe even a snorkel. Please be courteous as all categories will be on the trail at the same times. The best thing you can do is be vocal, polite, and sometimes most of all patient. 


Afterwards stick around for some raffle prizes, awards, and food from Stuft Gourmet Potatoes! They are awesome and we appreciate their generosity to have some good food for us. Please go check them out in the triangle plaza behind the mall and tell them the Fat Fish sent you. We look forward to seeing you out there and hope you have a great time.

So we are only a couple weeks away from the first race and things are moving quick. Please register as early as possible! This will help us tremendously as we try to streamline things on our end to make your FFR experience the best possible. There are a couple more things you can do for us smile emoticon On Sat. the 16th Mountain Sports will have a table setup where we can give you your bib numbers from 9AM to noon. This will save you from having to do this on race day as we anticipate about 100 racers all wanting the same things. Lastly, please be orderly and patient. It's our first of the year as well and we may be a little rusty, Just like riding a bike though. smile emoticon We will have great prizes from our fine sponsors and Ragged Edge Sports, @Crazy Peddaler, and Gear Up will all have prizes and be able to help put the finishing tune ups on your race steeds.
