BIKE Festival Willingen

BIKE Festival Willingen brings mountain bikes, e-mountain bikes, racing, shows, and a large outdoor expo to the Sauerland town of Willingen for three days annually. It functions as a festival and a race weekend: expo entry is free, visitors can test over 1,000 bikes, and exhibitors present the newest bikes, parts, clothing, and accessories for on-site testing. The racing component includes more than one event. The BIKE Marathon provides three route options, and the schedule also features an eMTB-Challenge, a Downhill Cup, enduro races, a Gravel Ride, and a Junior Trophy for children. Approximately 35,000 visitors attend for the blend of participants, spectators, families, pro riders, product testing, bike-park action, and children's activities, establishing Willingen as Germany's primary mountain bike event each year.
