PARK CITY, Utah — Woodward Park City will close out the summer season with its Mountain Bike Festival on Saturday, Sept. 20, bringing together riders, fans and industry leaders for a day of competition and family-friendly fun.

The festival, presented with Propain Bikes and supported by a range of outdoor brands, will feature events for all ages, including downhill and pump track races, Strider bike sessions for young children, and an invitational whip-off with a $1,000 cash purse.

The downhill race will run on the Spiral Jetty and Lower Steezy Rider courses, with separate youth and adult divisions. Riders ages 7–13 can compete in the pump track race, while the Strider Sessions™ will give participants 6 and under a chance to ride and win giveaways.

In the evening, the invitational whip-off will highlight the event as riders showcase their biggest tricks, followed by an awards ceremony. A vendor village will also be on site with demos, gear and prizes from leading mountain bike brands.

Race registration begins at 1:30 p.m., with competitions running from 3 to 5:30 p.m. The whip-off begins at 6 p.m., and awards will follow at 7:15 p.m. All activities will take place at Woodward Park City’s mountain park, located at 3863 Kilby Road.

Organizers say the festival celebrates Utah’s mountain biking community while offering a platform for progression, connection, and brand engagement.
