Events

Dirty Grin Mountain Bike Festival

The Dirty Grin Mountain Bike Festival is a three-day / two-night celebration of all that we love about the sport of mountain biking. Our goal is to showcase the amazing trail networks and opportunities we have in east-central Pennsylvania while growing participation in the sport so that everyone feels like they have a place in this great community.

We’ll offer a wide range of opportunities for you to meet like-minded riders and learn from some of the best riders and teachers of the sport on this side of the Appalachian Mountains. We’ll introduce you to some outstanding local food, coffee, and beers, as well as several of our favorite local musicians. You’ll have the opportunity to ride several of our favorite local trail systems – each with its own unique character – that will test experienced riders while also offering plenty of opportunities for those learning and growing in the sport. The festival will offer a wide range of competitive and non-competitive riding options, from clinics to guided rides to games to full-blown races. The Dirty Grin truly offers something for every rider!
