Events

Competition is one of the places where character is built. 🚵 On the trail, our student-athletes learn to push through a tough climb, cheer for the rider beside them, and keep going when the ride does not go as planned. Every start line is a chance to practice courage, perseverance, and good sportsmanship, and every finish is a chance to grow. We celebrate every rider's effort and story, and we honor the choice to take on a challenge. The dust settles, but the lessons stay long after event weekend ends. 💙 📸 Trask McFarland, NKY Roots #Kentuckymtb

Our TREK Fundraiser prize list includes two Hydro Flask pieces, Carryout Soft Cooler 15L in mermaid green and Carryout Soft Tote 20L in shale grey, each valued at $100. You do not have to ride a bike to love these; they are just as at home on a picnic, a baseball field, a day at the lake, or a grocery run. Every entry into the drawing helps fund rider scholarships and keeps riding accessible for Kentucky families. Enter here: https://donate.page/XZCEQJUH (LINK IN BIO) #Kentuckymtb

Let's race in the rain! 🌧️🚵 We know many of you are asking about the forecast, so here is the plan: our trail stewards are giving us the GO! Event weekend continues as scheduled, and we are planning to race in the rain. Puddles, splashes, and big smiles are all part of what makes MTB such an adventure! A few reminders to keep every team ready: ⛈️ Watch our social media and Slack for any changes or delays. ⛺ Bring weights for your canopies, or straps and weighted buckets. The field is rocky, and stakes are unlikely to be sufficient. 📄 Please review the weather policy in our event flyer. 📣 Rainedout messages will ONLY be sent for emergency notifications such as lightning. Pack your rain gear and your sense of adventure. We cannot wait to see you on the trails! 📸 Brandon Meeks, McCracken Mustangs #Kentuckymtb
