We are going all in this coming Summer 2023. Not only are we hosting our well received, shorter bikepacking event, The Fox but also our longest bikepacking race ever, The Wolf.
The concept of our bikepacking events are somewhat hybrid. We know the challenge and experiences achieved by racing during the day. But we also love the small community of participants we get to share each night. We think it is the best of both worlds; adventure race travel by day and time spent with other amazing people around the fire at night.
The Fox is a great introduction to the world of bikepack style racing. It’s two days, one night and each day is about 65 miles. We had a blast hosting it this Summer and we can’t wait to go again July 1-2, 2023.
The Wolf is something that has been cooking for over two years. Rising from the bones of our Heck Epic, The Wolf is a three day, three night trip traveling from Two Harbors to Ely to Grand Marais back to Two Harbors. Each day is about 100 miles of amazing North Shore wildness. The Wolf will run from July 21-23, 2023.
Both events are timed and all riders must carry the equipment they need for sleeping out under the stars. Breakfasts and simple aid station each day will be supplied by our team. Suppers will be on you in town.
We will be capping each event at 75 riders (for camping reasons.) Registration for ALL Heck of the North Production events will begin January 3 via this website and BikeReg.com. Stay tuned for details as we get logistics set for Summer.
Ride the Good Line,
Jeremy Kershaw
