Mountain Bike Racing is back on the East Side of Kauai. MTB Kauai has revived the Anahola trails for a new era.

MTB Kauai has partnered with Aina Alliance and Hawaiian Homelands to bring organized racing back to Anahola. This isn’t just a race; it’s a celebration of our Aina and a commitment to stewardship.

We are running a professionally timed event with distinct categories for Analog and E-Bike competitors. Adults expect a 7.5 or 15-mile course that tests your lungs, your tech skills, and your grit.  The race is sponsored by MTB Kauai but is open to anyone. Registration will be capped to ensure the best possible racer experience and is open to the public. MTB Kauai members are guaranteed a spot, in addition to reduced registration fees.
