The New Castle Rides and Reggae Festival is a celebration of trail running, mountain biking, music, and community. Rides and Reggae includes a weekend full of fun including live music from local and national reggae influenced bands, MTB races, a trail running race, and a duathlon for all ability levels on the Colorow and Highlands Trail Networks. Race entry includes beer, custom R&R socks, and festival entry. Cash and gear prizes will be awarded for each race. See the website link for registration, course maps, race results, and race details.

Registration for the Dirty Dozen Trail Running Race includes a fun and challenging 10K trail running race and 1 free beer at both nights of the festival (Friday and Saturday). Race registration also includes 1 entry into both days of the Rides and Reggae Festival (Friday and Saturday) so no need to purchase a festival ticket unless you plan to bring a friend with you. Advanced registration also includes a pair of custom race socks.

Racers can also register for the Dirty Dozen MTB race and compete the combo event which consists of racing Friday night’s 10k trail race followed by Saturday morning’s 20-mile MTB. Times from both races will be combined for the finishing results.
