Traverse City Trails Festival presented by Stone Hound Brewing

About the Event

The Traverse City Trails Festival presented by Stone Hound Brewing is excited to be the last race in the Michigan Off Road Championship Off Road MTB Race Series (MORC)  To see what categories qualify see registration or visit MORC or After a lot of discussion with race participants, sponsors, and the board, we’re stoked to confirm that the 2025 Traverse City Trails Festival will once again start and finish at Timber Ridge Resort on September 27th!

Online registration closes at noon on Friday, September 26th. There is no in-person or day-of registration, so make your move! 

The Traverse City Trails Festival is proud to have Stone Hound Brewing back as the title sponsor of our 2025 event. Stone Hound Brewing has supported the trails since their doors opened, naming countless bespoke brews after our local marked and unmarked trails. Stone Hound Brewing, located on Bunker Hill Road, has become a favorite destination for post-ride refreshments and a vital contributor to our cycling community.

About Traverse City

Learn more about the host city, Traverse City.

Scenic view of

Traverse City is a scenic city on the Grand Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan. Directly north of Traverse City, the Old Mission Peninsula splits the Grand Traverse Bay in two, with a beautiful windswept landscape and great views of the bay on either side. Slightly to the west, the Leelanau Peninsula, with its charming small towns, forms the "pinkie finger" of the Michigan peninsula, jutting into Lake Michigan. Both peninsulas are prime winemaking regions within the state, and as such are one of the main tourist attractions in the region. Over a million visitors come each year to tour the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, a scenic lakeside park with impressively large sand dunes. It's also a very popular destination for outdoor activities, owing to the proximity of Lake Michigan in summer, the impressive autumn colors, and the high snowfalls in winter.
