Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day 2025

By White Lotus Sports on October 3, 2025 • ( 0 )

Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day (TKMBD) is an annual event created by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) to introduce kids to the joy of riding trails and to encourage families to experience nature together on bikes.
• When: It’s held every first Saturday in October (though many clubs host local events throughout the month).
• What happens: Communities, trail groups, and bike clubs organize fun, family-friendly rides—often on beginner-friendly trails—with skills clinics, games, snacks, and bike safety checks.
• Why it matters: The day is meant to inspire a lifelong love of cycling, promote healthy outdoor activity, and connect kids with local trail systems and stewardship.
• Reach: Since its start in 2004, it’s grown into a global movement, with thousands of kids participating each year across the U.S. and many other countries.

👉 It’s not a race day—it’s more about fun, exploration, and building community around trails and bikes.
