🚲 The 2nd Annual Navajo MTB Festival.

We’ve been a little quiet since the festival, and honestly, we’re still coming down from the whirlwind of bringing this weekend to life.
After months of planning, organizing, and working behind the scenes to bring all the pieces together, the weekend flew by. Then it was time to catch our breath and shift gears. But we didn’t want any more time to pass without saying thank you. 🤍💙💛🖤
Thank you to everyone who showed up, rode with us, brought their families, raced, volunteered, set up a booth, shared their talents, supported our vendors, and helped make this gathering what it was.

Thank you to our sponsors, partners, volunteers, and organizing crew who gave their time, energy, and resources to make this possible. And to everyone who traveled from near and far to be here, we’re grateful you chose to spend part of your weekend with us.

The Navajo MTB Festival has always been about more than bikes. It’s about creating space for our community to ride, connect, learn, share, and see ourselves in cycling. It’s about our kids growing up knowing they belong here, too.
We’re still learning, growing, and figuring things out as we go. Our hope isn’t simply to make this festival bigger every year, but to make it stronger, more connected, and rooted in community.

We’re proud of what we built together for our second year, and we’re grateful to everyone who continues to believe in this vision.
This is just the beginning of sharing more moments from the weekend.

Ałhé’hée to everyone who made the 2nd Annual Navajo MTB Festival possible.

🚲 Trails connect us and keep us connected 🚲

What is the Navajo Mountain Bike Festival? 🚲🪶
It’s more than a weekend of riding bikes.
Now in our second year, the Navajo Mountain Bike Festival continues to be a community-driven event created to celebrate our growing mountain bike community here on Dinétah, bringing together riders, families, youth, trail builders, advocates, artists, local businesses and people who simply want to be part of it.
It’s about creating space for our people to ride, learn, connect and see what is possible when we come together around bikes and the outdoors. It’s also about continuing the conversation around trails, access and outdoor recreation on our homelands.
This festival exists because of community, the people who volunteer, sponsor, share their skills, lead rides, show up for our youth and keep believing in what we’re building together.

Year two. Still community driven. Still growing together. 🧡
Ahéhee’ to everyone who has helped bring the 2nd Annual Navajo Mountain Bike Festival to life.

💛 AXHÉHEE’ NITSAAGO TO OUR 2026 EVENT SPONSORS! 💛
We want to extend a HUGE thank you to all of our 2026 Navajo Mountain Bike Festival sponsors. Without your support, this event simply could not happen.
Keeping the Navajo MTB Festival FREE for our community still comes with many costs behind the scenes. Your sponsorship helps us cover the essential logistics that make it possible to welcome everyone for the weekend, like our event space, bathrooms, trash services, equipment, printing and signage, programming, sound, entertainment, youth activities, and so much more.
Some of these things may not be the most exciting parts of putting on a mountain bike festival 😂 but they are absolutely necessary to create a safe, welcoming and organized space for our riders, families, vendors, volunteers and visitors.
Every contribution helps us create a place where our community can come together around bikes, trails, youth, the outdoors and one another here on Dinétah. 🚲🪶
To every business, organization and partner who chose to invest in this community-led event: ahéhee’ nitsaago. We truly appreciate your trust in us and your help in making the 2026 Navajo Mountain Bike Festival possible.

💛 Drop a heart in the comments and help us show our sponsors some love! Without them, we couldn’t do this.
We’ll see you soon, Window Rock! 🚲✨

We want to send a huge and heartfelt axhéhee’ to all of the businesses, brands, artists, organizations, and community members who donated to our 2026 Navajo Mountain Bike Festival raffle fundraiser.
Every item, gift, service, and piece of gear donated helped us raise funds to bring this festival together and gave our raffle participants the chance to win some really sweet prizes along the way! 🚲✨like really sweet 🤩
We also want to acknowledge those who reached out and offered to donate, but because of our own capacity and timing leading up to the festival, we weren’t able to coordinate every generous offer. We’re sorry we couldn’t make them all happen this time, but PLEASE know that your willingness to support us meant so much! We saw you, we appreciate you, and we hope to connect again. 🩵
This fundraiser truly takes a community, literally. Whether you donated a prize, bought a ticket, shared one of our posts, or simply cheered us on…you helped support a free, community-led mountain bike festival here on Dinétah.
Axhéhee’ nitsaago to ALL of you for giving, participating, and believing in what we’re creating together. 🪶🚲
