Events
It's never too early to plan your 2024 summer vacations...
The Copper Harbor Trails Club hosts or is a partner with several exciting events throughout the summer months, from races to clinics to fun rides and everything in between. Ride the Keweenaw, Big Boy Clinic, Women's Weekend Clinic Sponsored by Liv, and Copper Harbor Trails Fest all support CHTC's efforts to expand, improve, and maintain our world-class trail system. Have fun on the trails while supporting what we do to improve the trails for everyone!
Other events include group rides, trail work days, and a couple of get-togethers thrown in for good measure. The best way to keep up is to follow the Copper Harbor Trails Club Facebook or Instagram page. Otherwise read on for the main events!
Spring is definitely here now! Let's get the trails cleared and ready to ride. Meet in the park downtown at 11 AM and we'll assign you a trail or two to help prepare for the upcoming season. Bring a chainsaw, leafblower, shovel, rake, loppers, or whatever you've got! We have some tools to loan out if needed. Gloves are a must. We'll gather up at the Mariner afterwards for some chili and drinks. If it's rainy we'll postpone until Sunday, 4/21 at 11 AM.
2024 Soirée & Annual Meeting
Join us for an evening of good cheer for our 2024 Soirée & Annual Meeting! We'll gather at the Orpheum Theater in Hancock to get a recap on what we accomplished in 2023 and what we have in store for 2024. There's a lot more going on than we've talked about publicly and we can't wait to share the details with you! Doors open at 6:30 PM and we'll begin our presentation near 7:15 PM. Free and open to the public.
International Women's MTB Day Ride
Come explore all of the exciting mountain bike trails the Copper Country has to offer during Ride the Keweenaw! Memorial Day Weekend brings the first Lake Superior Gravity Series Enduro race of the season, a Family Enduro at the Michigan Tech Trails, and plenty of fun times as we host our season opening. Book your lodging and plan your trip today!
The premier men's clinic in the Midwest! Our Big Boy Clinic will teach you how to become a better mountain biker, whether you're getting your first turns or have been riding since before mountain bikes were a thing. Everyone has bad habits to bust and efficiency gains to discover, and our professional coaches are here to help make your riding that much more fun.
Organized specifically for women by women, our Women's Weekend clinic has helped out hundreds of people boost their confidence and become better mountain bikers. Our all-women crew knows what challenges you face on the trail and can help guide you in overcoming your fears, busting bad habits, and how to have fun no matter what the trail throws at you! Join the crew and learn why we're the top women's clinic in the Midwest. Space is limited and fills up very quickly.
Races! Beer! Music! Food! Fun! The Copper Harbor Trails Fest returns for Labor Day weekend 2024. Grab your mountain bike (or running shoes!) and come north for some of the most challenging races around. There's something for everyone, from XC racers to Downhill junkies. It's a family reunion of mountain biking and we hope to see you there!
