After a 4-year hiatus the Ho Down, a much-loved bike festival in Moab made its return in October 2024! We are now gearing up for the 2025 Moab Ho Down! Moab’s local bike community comes together again for this fun-filled weekend of bike riding, bike racing, bike jumping, costume wearing, laughter and our community’s love for all things biking. Moab Ho Down MTB Festival is an event that strives for inclusiveness and embraces everyone to join in!

Moab Ho Down Mountain Bike Festival raises funds for our local bike park and has also helped to fund local trail projects over the years. Moab’s local IMBA Chapter – Moab Mountain Bike Association is the host of the event and has put together a schedule that brings together multiple opportunities of fun to be had on 2 wheels.

New for the Ho Down this year, we will have an adaptive rider mtb race category, intermediate group ride, adaptive group ride as well as mtb films at the historic Star Hall in downtown Moab!

The Moab Ho Down Mountain Bike Festival is back!!!
