Epic Races' Island Lake Triathlon, Duathlon, Aquabike

Welcome to the 20th MCMBA Milford Bike Fest and Trail Challenge!

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS OPEN! $25

Join us for a day of exploring by bikes around Milford's well-connected trail system!

Milford is an official Pure Michigan Trail Town and we are here to celebrate and showcase all that is offered. Five singletrack mountain bike trails and several paved pathways are fully accessible from Downtown Milford. Create your own adventure with fellow riders or join a group ride across this vast trail system. After riding, join us on the patio of Main Street Grill for a drink then grab a bite from one of the local eateries.

Tailor your ride from family-friendly paved rides, guided epic shreds, or take it all in with your own curated adventure.

THIS IS NOT A RACE. This your chance to explore, expand your community, and find new favorite places.

Celebrate the start of summer with a 5K for all ages! The Berry Fast 5K is run on scenic gravel trails around the family-owned 50-acre Blake’s Lyon Township property. The 5k race will take you through the orchard and includes a donut, glass of hard or sweet cider, t-shirt and commemorative glass. Strollers are permitted at your own discretion as the terrain is gravel.

Please note, shirts sizes are on a first come, first serve basis and are not guaranteed to those registered less than 14-days prior to the event. Inventory is kept up to date during registration. If sizes are not showing at the time of sign up, they are unavailable.

Gleaners Community Food Bank is excited to announce the 2nd annual Hunger Free Summer 5K Run and Walk! With the support of our incredible community, Gleaners continues to work toward our mission of creating a food-secure Southeast Michigan.

When school is out, many children lose access to the meals they rely on, but the Hunger Free Summer campaign helps bridge that gap. Gleaners can provide 3 meals for every dollar donated. Thanks to a match from Citizens and other generous donors, for every dollar raised through run registrations or donations, Gleaners can provide six meals to families facing hunger.

Please join us as we race toward a food-secure community on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at Freedom River in Brighton, Michigan.
