Winona Lake Trail Fest
Hauth Trailhead, 900 E. Pierceton Rd, Winona Lake
Mark your calendars and join us as we wrap up the traditional riding season with the return of the Winona Lake Trail Fest presented by KCV Cycling! Combining the fun of some of our favorite season ending events, this weekend is for the whole community with trail runs, a 12 hour MTB race, kid’s MTB clinics, Kid’s Night Ride/Scavenger Hunt and more If you don’t want to race, ride, or run, that’s ok! Come for great merchandise, kids bike events, live music, and food trucks. All events raise awareness and money for our community to be active in the outdoors at the Hauth Trailhead Expansion and the future Winona Lake Bike Park. You won’t want to miss this great weekend!
Races will be scored and have prizes, but our goal is to have fun and not take things too seriously. This is a fun community fundraising event, thus scoring will not be done professionally, and may require participant involvement and a level of honor code/trust.
12 Hour MTB Fun Race
September 28, 2024 @ 10:30am-10:30pm
The return of a long endurance race was very popular last year! This race has both 12 hour and 6 hour options and is a fun solo, duo or team (up to 4 riders, 12 hour) MTB relay with the final 12 hour laps during dusk requiring lights. The friendly competition can get heated as solo riders and teams compete to complete the most number of laps for both the 6 and 12 hour options. New this year is a Class 1 e-MTB category. More details to come!
