The Traverse City Trails Festival, presented by Stone Hound Brewing and Northern Michigan Mountain Bike Association (NMMBA), will take place this year on September 30, 2023, at Timber Ridge Resort.

Timber Ridge has been crucial to the development of trails and, just as important, the growth of the racing community for decades. They have facilitated the winter grooming program by sharing storage and a cabin, plus donated generously to NMMBA and other bike-focused nonprofits, including TART and Norte. It’s also in the perfect location to allow for easy access to nearly 100 miles of trails.

Participants can expect meticulously well-maintained singletrack and enough two-track to provide ample passing. The course will mix in some of the best single-track trails in the Pere Marquette Forest, including some hidden gems even locals don’t ride very often.
