ISSAQUAH — The seventh-annual Evergreen Mountain Bike Festival is June 11 and 12 in Duthie Hill Park at 27101 S.E. Duthie Hill Road in Issaquah, with bike demos, activities for kids, skill clinics and more.

About 50 vendors will be there, along with timed pump track runs, jump show demonstrations, food and beverages, and bike raffles.

The event is free and open to the public. Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance members pay $10 and non-members pay $20 if they want to ride the demo bikes, attend clinics, and take part in guided rides and the pump track challenge.

Last year, over 3,000 people attended the festival, which is a fundraiser for the alliance and its work on trails statewide.

The park has six miles of cross country bike trail, and two miles of free-ride trail with jumps and built features — with something for everyone from children to experts.

Information about the event and the alliance is at www.evergreenmtb.org.
