Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day

Due to the recent weather across North Texas and the potential of severe weather Saturday morning, Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day is cancelled. The event grounds, parking areas, and surrounding trails have become extremely muddy, and the trail is currently closed. These conditions make the site unsafe and inaccessible for vehicles, vendors, and participants. We truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility and hope to see you on Horseshoe Trails soon!

 

Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day is nationwide event held annually on the first Saturday of October. Established in 2004 by the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) and recognized by Congress, this day is dedicated to introducing young people to the exhilarating sport of mountain biking. Over the years, more than 100,000 kids have discovered the thrill of the trails through this initiative.
On October 3rd, join Grapevine Parks and Recreation, in partnership with Grapevine Police Department,  DORBA (Dallas Off-Road Bicycle Association), REI Dallas, Cross Timbers MTB, and Mountain Sports for an exhilarating day at Horseshoe Trails. Grab your helmet, bicycle, and gear, and come join the fun!
