DINO MTB Series - Griffin Bike Park 2026

Griffin Bike Park, located at 10700 Bono Road in Terre Haute, Indiana, hosts a DINO MTB Series event on its purpose-built mountain bike park. The race utilizes a 6-mile circuit featuring a 4 out of 5 hills rating and a 4 out of 5 surface rating, offering more than just a flat ride. Mountain bikes, cyclo-cross bikes, and similar configurations are permitted, provided they have no motor assistance and two functioning hand-operated brakes. Participants must wear a certified, securely fastened helmet and closed-toe shoes. The park offers various features including XC trails, pump tracks, jump lines, technical elements, and a dual slalom course. However, the DINO race course emphasizes faster trails with passing opportunities alongside moderately challenging singletrack. These singletrack sections incorporate rapid ascents and descents, demanding good handling skills and short bursts of power. Registration is open from morning until each rider's start time, with a refundable cash deposit required for number plates at check-in. Camping is available at Fowler Park, directly across from Griffin Bike Park, connected by a bike trail. A free DINO Kids Ride for those 12 and under is also part of the event, with every child receiving a small prize.
