The Worlds funnest MTB race series in Morzine.

Fun, Light hearted and accessible to all, these are the 3 main principles of Bike Morzine mates races . These are not "races" as you know them; no pressure, no ego and crappy tracks and bon vibes only. The Bike Morzine mates race series provides a light hearted, friendly and interesting format to race against your mates.

These races are completely free of charge and aim to bring the Morzine summer community together over their love of riding bikes, all washed down by plenty of beers and some good food. Races you'll never forget & after parties you'll never remember. The races are free of charge to enter but please bring cash for a charitable donation, we use these races as an opportunity to raise money for many great causes, including the Elle Souter foundation, planting trees & building new trails.

For those who haven't been to our mates races before, these are super low-key, friendly and social 'races'. Our aim is to bring the Morzine MTB community together and focus more on the "mates" than the "races", so if you're wanting to take things seriously then you've come to the wrong place. Everyone is welcome here, come along, have fun and make some new mates.

Ladies Only Race

Every year we see the number of females stoked on riding bikes grow and grow, not only in our little slice of paradise but all over the World. Mountain biking has been a male dominated sport for too long and we think more females in the sport we love is absolutely something to be celebrated!

Racing can be intimidating for people new to the sport so with this race we want to break down those barriers and invite all the lady huckers from beginners to World cup veterans to a girls only, low-key and fun race between friends. Those who have been to any BIke Morzine mates race will know that the emphasis is on the 'mates' and definitely not the 'race'.

Fun, Lighthearted & accessible to all are the key principles to these 'races' and we don't care if you're first or last, at the end of the day the person having the most fun & making new riding buddies is the real winner!
