More than 100 fat bike racers are expected to converge on Oconto Falls on Jan. 8 for the second annual Fatty in the Falls.

Hosted by the Oconto Falls Area Cycling Coalition, the races are staged to support the growing Oconto Falls Area Trails system.

The event is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and uses the coalition’s wooded 3.5 mile trail and a loop around River Island Golf Course to create a beginner race of one approximately five-mile lap, a two-lap intermediate race of about nine miles, and a three-lap advanced race of about 13 miles. Activities are centered around the shelter atop the city’s tubing hill.
