40 MILES+ = ONE BIG BAD @$$ LAP:
The 40 mile+ category (actually its 43 miles to keep you honest) lap includes nearly all of the Competitive Loops, Pemberton Trail, part of Scenic, Cinch, Escondido, Delsie, Granite, Bluff, Coachwhip, and Dixie Mine. The Fat Tire 40 is a one lap race, featuring desert single track and about 3,000 feet of climbing.
