Adrenaline Festival

The Mountain Bike Culture at its best! A big grin on our face, feeling invincible and a peace of mind you can rarely find in the craziness of your life. This unique vibe deserves celebrating!
From July 28 to 30, 2023, we invite XCO and DH riders to race on our high performance trails, and, their supporters, to enjoy the show. Saturday, we’ll host the Legendary MTB World Championship of Pond Crossing with live music! We’ll have fun & games for the young and young at heart during the afternoon also. You don’t want to miss that!
Come meet this awesome MTB community! They’re open-minded, socially engaged, and love connecting with the people and the culture surrounding them! Whether you already belong to this community, or you’re curious to discover this unique vibe, the Adrenaline Festival is the perfect place to gather.
EVERYONE IS INVITED to hang out with us at the foot of Sugarloaf Mountain!!!
