Grit MTB Festival 2023 (Fayetteville) | Centennial Park
Sports & Fitness
Grit MTB Festival 2023 is a 3-day grassroots event that aims to unite FTWN-B and the community of mountain biking enthusiasts in Fayetteville. It is an inclusive festival that welcomes cis women, trans women and men, and non-binary individuals, regardless of their skill level. The festival focuses not only on enhancing riders' abilities but also on fostering a sense of community, promoting outdoor advocacy, sustainability, and education.
Grit MTB Festival 2023 serves as the annual fundraiser for All Bikes Welcome, a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing free and affordable cycling and outdoor programs in the Northwest Arkansas corridor. They aim to reach out to historically underrepresented and marginalized individuals. Attendees are encouraged to make a donation, even a small amount, during the ticket purchase to support this cause. Additionally, there is a Grit Community Fund that assists financially challenged individuals in attending the festival.
While demo bikes will be available, the quantity and sizes will be limited. It is recommended that participants bring their own mountain bikes if possible. BIPOC scholarships will be offered, and further information will be provided on the website and social media channels. Volunteers and workshop leaders are also welcome to contribute to the event, with workshop submissions accepted in June.
Student discounts are available, and interested students can request a coupon code by emailing a copy of their ID and transcript. The festival offers a diverse range of activities, including guided group rides, workshops, meals, a dance party, a keynote speaker, yoga sessions, snacks, and even a swag bag upon arrival.
