Join us this June for the Evergreen Mountain Bike Festival at our new venue, bringing it back to its roots in the I-90 corridor! We’ll be partying at Raging River this year, celebrating the grand opening of our new Phase 3 trails. Get ready for tons of demo bikes, bike shuttles, group rides, live music, food trucks, beer garden, skills clinics, kids zones, tons of vendors and more. Bring your friends and family for a weekend in the woods full of all things mountain biking!
New Location
The Cascades to Sound Chapter is so excited to be hosting this event at the Raging River State Forest. The festival began just down the road at Duthie Hill, and we’re over the moon to be able to expand it to this massive venue with a wide variety of trails. We will also have an airbag jump and skills zone in our base area.
Schedule
The festival will run Saturday, June 8th from 9am-7pm (with live music by The Salmonberries starting at 5pm!) and Sunday, June 9th from 9am-4pm. See our full schedule here!
Riding
Our 2024 Mountain Bike Festival is the Grand Opening of Raging River Phase 3! Trailbuilders have been hard at work during this phase of new and improved trails in the Raging River Trail System. New trails will be open to ride! Raging River has over 3000 vertical feet of world class trails, with options for guided rides, clinics with incredible coaches from all over the Northwest, supportive group rides for kids, women, LGBTQ+, BIPOC communities and more, as well as self-guided tour recommendations (aka our local staff's favorite loops!) if you're new to the area and want to explore!
Group Rides
Evergreen MTB and other vendors will be hosting a variety of guided group rides on Saturday and Sunday; including Evergreen’s Ride United, a welcoming space for historically marginalized folks.
Ride United is Evergreen’s initiative to create space for riders in the BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+ and seen and unseen disabilities community and their allies. Ride United group rides are set up to provide a ride that is designed for them. These are social pace, no drop group rides; intentionally designed to be shorter rides with plenty of stops on the climb and descent trails. Anyone who self-identifies under the “Ride United” umbrella is welcome on these rides.
Ride United group ride schedule is live! Check it out here: www.evergreenmtb.org/blog/ride-united-schedule-2024
Demos
We will have several major bike brands on site with demo bikes available for you to try. Please note, helmets and a valid Driver's License or credit card for collateral are required for demo bikes.
Music, Beer, and Food
To round out the weekend, we'll have coffee and food trucks (with plenty of options!) on-site all weekend, plus a beer garden for those age 21 and up. Don’t miss live music on Saturday night by The Salmonberries starting at 5pm - fun for the whole family!
Volunteers Needed
This is our largest fundraiser of the year, and to be successful, we need your help! Volunteer shifts are 3-4 hours minimum (depending on shift), and you will receive a festival pass, t-shirt, food truck ticket, and beer token (if 21 or older) in exchange for your time! We need help with operations, contests, parking, registration, event set-up, and tear-down.
