A full day of racing, riding, and cycling culture.
Whether you’re lining up for the Enduro, tackling the Gravel Fondo, or simply coming to experience the community, Bike Fest is about reconnecting riders with what makes cycling special.
Bike Fest will host the opening round of the Ontario Enduro Series, bringing competitive enduro racing to Trail Hub and the Durham Forest trail network.
The race will venture beyond the Trail Hub property and into Durham Forest, utilizing some of the region’s most notable and well-loved mountain bike trails.
Riders will navigate a series of timed stages connected by pedal transitions through forest singletrack, technical terrain, and flowing descents.
Participants can expect 3–4+ hours of riding across varied terrain that highlights the depth and quality of riding in the region.
The race concludes with final stages descending back toward Trail Hub, finishing on fast, flowy trails that return riders directly to the festival village.
Whether racing for the podium or simply embracing the challenge, the Enduro is designed to showcase the best mountain biking Durham Region has to offer.
Gravel Fondo
The Bike Fest Gravel Fondo explores the rolling gravel roads and rural landscapes surrounding Trail Hub, offering riders the opportunity to experience some of the best gravel riding in the region.
Starting and finishing at Trail Hub, the route will guide riders through scenic countryside routes featuring smooth gravel sectors, rolling terrain, and quiet backroads.
Multiple route distances are currently being finalized, with options designed to accommodate both endurance-focused riders and those looking for a shorter but equally memorable ride.
For optimal performance and comfort, recommended tire sizes are 38–45c, well suited to the gravel conditions found throughout the area.
Whether you’re chasing distance, riding with friends, or exploring new roads, the Gravel Fondo celebrates the adventurous spirit that defines gravel cycling.
