Winona Lake Trail Fest

Winona Lake Trail Fest presented by KCV Cycling

September 27-29, 2024

Hauth Trailhead (900 E Pierceton Road)

Mark your calendars and join us as we bring back the favorite 12 Hours of Winona and the 3rd Annual 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 a new kids night ride/scavenger hunt, trail runs, a 6 or 12 hour MTB race, and kid's MTB clinics and races. Not wanting to race/ride/run, we've thrown in a 50/50 raffle, live music, a food truck, and cold brews all to raise awareness and money for the future Winona Lake Bike Park. Now you have the ingredients for a great weekend you don't want to miss...

* 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.

** The 6/12 Hour MTB Race will begin with a LeMan's style start with riders running to their bike parked near the start of the course. The 6/12 Hour MTB Race Course will be approximately 6 miles per lap with mostly green trails for the most rider capabilities. A charging table with limited power outlets will be available at the race tent near the start/finish line.

*** New E-MTB Categories this year. For duo and team categories, if any rider is on an e-MTB ,class 1, pedal assist bicycle they must race in the appropriate E-MTB category. 

NOTE: Please check the KCV and Winona Lake Trails websites and social media channels for the latest updates. All schedules subject to change or cancelation depending on weather or participation.
