Trees Trail Challenge

The 11th Annual Trees Trail Challenge takes place on November 21, 2026 at Franke Park Trails in Fort Wayne, Indiana. All races start and finish at The HUB, located beyond the BMX parking lot next to Derby Hill. The HUB is also the location for packet pickup, awards, and pre- and post-race gatherings.

The event includes mountain bike races and trail runs. Mountain bike distances:

  • 10 Miles (one 10-mile lap)
  • 20 Miles (two 10-mile laps)

Trail run distances:

  • 5 Miles (one lap)
  • 10 Miles (two 5-mile laps)

Participants 18 years and under may register free of charge. A Ride+Run option pairs a mountain bike race with a trail run; Ride+Run participants receive 50% off the run entry.

Proceeds from the trail run benefit Trees Indiana. Proceeds from the mountain bike races go to Three Rivers Velo Sport, a volunteer-run cycling club that promotes bicycling activities in the Fort Wayne area. The event relies on volunteers for roles such as course marshals and aid stations.

The venue features wooded singletrack with tight turns and technical mountain bike trails, and all activity is centered at The HUB in Franke Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
