Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day

You will not want to miss this year’s Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day hosted by Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance on Saturday, October 4th!

We will be in the vendor village at Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park with some of our kid’s bike fleet, ready for your little ones to test them out. 

Created by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) in 2004 and recognized by the U.S. Congress, Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day aims to introduce kids to the exciting world of mountain biking.

Whether your little one is a seasoned shredder or hopping on a mountain bike for the first time, Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day offers a welcoming and safe environment to hit the trails and make memories (and new friends!)
