Thanks for joining us in the all new 44th Annual North American VASA, presented by Short's Brewing Company and Chemical Bank!

Race Format

By popular demand, we will continue with our “Freestyle Saturday” and “Classic Sunday” format. The fat bike races and Junior Vasa will also continue on Saturday. Returning is the Collegiate Challenge, the Michigan Cup Challenge, and the SkiFatalon. The course will run in counter-clockwise direction this year.

Short's Brewing

We are excited to have Short’s back as our co-title sponsor for the sixth year. Plenty of their great craft beers will be made available for your post-race ‘hoppiness’ in our toasty Event Tent at Timber Ridge.

Chemical Bank

Chemical Bank has been a Vasa sponsor since 2011 and will be sharing the Vasa title sponsorship role with Short’s Brewing for the third year. Chemical Bank has become a major banking institution with ten local bank locations in the greater Traverse City area as well as their main branch at 625 South Garfield Avenue. We are very pleased to have their support!

Can’t do it without community support... and we had plenty this year. Thanks to all who volunteered!
