The bike Festival is a sport event during 3 days, and takes place during the first May week in Riva del Garda, on the Trentino side of the Lake.
Mountain bikers gather here and find the opportunity to have fun and test themselves during numerous cycling races, immersed in the enchanting lake landscapes.

The event - started in 1994 - has become a real point of reference for lovers of this sport, reaching 45,000 visitors and 3,000 participants.
It is divided between the many competitions dedicated to athletes of all ages and the exhibition area, which attracts visitors in search of new performing products.

The Bike Festival in fact does not end with the challenges, but it puts the main focus on the Expo area, which can be visited for free. Here there are 170 exhibitors and 300 brands of the mountain bike world. Visitors can test the different bike models and visit the stands to discover all the trendy products and two-wheeler accessories. Then there is also the opportunity to shop, taking advantage of competitive prices.
 

The scheduled races

During the festival, all kinds of races are planned to offer everyone the chance to compete in a competition calibrated on their own abilities. 

A very popular proposal is the Bike Marathon, which develops over different distances and allows athletes to choose the route they prefer.
Those who prefer extreme routes will love the jumps and gradients of the Scott Enduro, present at the Bike Festival of Riva in its junior version, to bring children closer to this fun and adventurous world. 

Other particular challenges are represented by the Bosch eMTB Challenge and the goliardic race Ghost Recon Ride. 
The first one mixes Enduro, Trail and orienteering and promises great emotions with routes designed for the electric bicycle. The second one is an experience suitable for everyone and offers fun itineraries around Lake Ledro.

From the 28th of April to the 1st of May 2023: 3 days during which the Expo of  Riva del Garda and the city itself is preparing to welcome cyclists, sportsmen and fans of the two wheels.
