BETA's 2025 Wilmington Mountain Bike Festival event

BETA's Wilmington MTB Festival is 3-day all-out celebration over Labor Day Weekend August 29th - 31st.

What's in it for you? All kinds of good stuff - access to group rides & shuttles, a front row seat to arguably one of the most impressive bonfires of the year, dreamy mountain views, local food and brews, camping if purchased, live music and - let’s just drive this point home again - that warm fuzzy feeling that lingers on after you've given to a cause near and dear to you.

The festival village is located at the Wilmington Recreation Park just off Springfield Road. Attendees can access miles of diverse single track riding right from the festival site including two large trail networks – the Flume and Hardy Road – as well as a 2-mile flow trail on the Flobus trail; a screaming 3-mile descent on the Poor Man's Downhill trail; a long, gnarly backcountry tour on the Cooper Kiln trail; 3 miles of new family-favorite trails at East Branch Community Trails; and a dirt jump/pump track park right on site at the festival.

NEW THIS YEAR: Friday Night Welcome Party on the festival grounds. Pre-order a hot and ready plate of jambalaya or vegetarian lasagna complete with plenty of sides and desert, enjoy your dinner right here on the ballfield, and catch up with friends both old and new while listening to local DJ and rider Ben Sitts, aka Just Ben.

Bike Fest isn’t just another weekend of riding; it's a chance to ride with purpose. Bike Fest is a major fundraiser for BETA and your registration fee directly supports the trails you know and love.

BETA is a member-supported, volunteer-driven, human-powered trail building and stewardship organization. We are endlessly grateful for your support.
