The Bandon Chamber of Commerce presents the Whiskey Run Mountain Bike Festival. This festival will showcase the awesome Whiskey Run trail system by offering guided group rides led by the people and club who helped build them. Each ride will be led by members of the Wild Rivers Coast Mountain Bicycling Association and local riders.

Purpose built mountain biking trail system in the Coos County Forest. Trails for all levels of riders from family friendly/beginner areas advanced jump lines and Double Black diamond trails. The trail system is located about 12 min (8.4 mi) via US-101 N and Seven Devils Rd. from Bandon, OR & 23 min (17.9 mi) via US-101 S Coos Bay to Whiskey Run.

Something for everyone at the trails with a family ride, beginner ride, intermediate, and advanced ride options. This is a great opportunity to come out and get to know the trails in a fun and supportive environment.

Our celebration of the trails will continue with food, music & beverages on site. Food carts and beer from 7 Devils Brewery will be available for purchase.

The “advanced ride” is for those who want to keep their wheels (mostly) on the ground and are comfortable on a longer ride at a faster pace. We definitely won’t be racing, but this ride is for those that are confident enough to keep up and enjoy the best of the trail system on all level trails from Green to Black. Guided by Whiskey Run gurus, you will ride in and out of the trees, up and down the slopes, and really get a good taste of what Whiskey has to offer!
