There are 8 different races including the full tri, dual- and single-discipline events, and a relay. All racers will get a finisher medal for completion and a commemorative long-sleeve shirt.

The Abominable Snow Tri kicks off at 8 a.m. pitting racers against their own best times and the elements as they take on the 12-mile trail system.

When you're done, defrost at the Post Race Party with beer from Saugatuck Brewing and food from local vendors.
