Welcome to the GRIND Mountain Bike Festival! Get ready for a thrilling weekend adventure the whole family will love! The GRIND isn’t just a race — it’s an experience packed with excitement, entertainment, and memories waiting to be made. The action kicks off Friday night with FREE live music from two incredible bands under the stars at the Giants Ridge courtyard. Then, on Saturday, it’s race day! From the grueling Long GRIND (35 miles) and Short GRIND (19 miles) to the high-energy Junior GRIND (5 miles) and the crowd-favorite Miners & Mini-Miners Kids Races, there’s a challenge for every rider. But the fun doesn’t end at the finish line — explore gravity mountain bike trails, browse the Vendor Village, and stick around for more live music and festival fun. Expect tough climbs, fast descents, rocky creek crossings, and plenty of adrenaline on one of Minnesota’s most scenic and challenging courses, nestled in the rugged beauty of the Iron Range.
