Experience the best mountain biking in the Midwest at the Brown County Epic Mountain Bike Festival, October 10-13, 2024.  Located in Brown County, Indiana, the 2024 Mountain Bike Festival and Epic Ride will offer tons of flowing single track during prime Autumn riding season.  The Epic Ride with SAG support will take place on Saturday, October 12.  Routes of varying lengths will be available for participants. This is not a race, just a ride in the woods with friends. Sleep in Sunday and take an easy ride before breaking camp.

2024 Overview

Last year’s event included the newly completed West Gate Trail and Gnawbone trail was just getting burned in. This year they should be more dialed in and in better shape.

The trails at Brown County State Park exist because of Brown County Mountain Biking and the many volunteers who contribute thousands of hours each year. This event supports those efforts and more.

Expect 2024 to be another no brakes, all gas event with bands, raffles, great food, and epic riding!

  • The 2024 Epic Ride routes will be posted on Trailforks closer to the start of the event.  There will be limited signage on the routes during the event.  Please download the gps routes, print maps, and/or use the Trailforks app.

  • T-shirts will be guaranteed for early registrations.  Please register early to guarantee your t-shirt.  You will also save some $$ as the price will go up closer to the event and there is no guarantee that shirts will be available for day-of-registrations.

  • Camping will be available by the pool on Friday and Saturday evening and must be purchased through our website or BikeReg at the time of registration.
