About the Event

Welcome to the JORBA Fest 2026! This annual fundraiser returns to Stephens State Park for an exciting celebration of trails and community. Prepare to explore new paths and discover unique features that will enhance your running experience.
Stephens State Park, known for its rugged beauty, offers a carry-in-carry-out facility where participants must pack out all their trash. The park does not provide potable water; bring plenty from home or plan accordingly. Alcohol is strictly prohibited on the premises, and no smoking or vaping is allowed to ensure everyone's safety.
For those looking to camp overnight, limited rustic camping spots are available starting at 3 p.m. on Saturday. RVs are welcome but please note there are no hookups. Payment for parking will be collected by JORBA staff upon arrival; this fee supports the state and park infrastructure rather than JORBA itself.
Stephens State Park also charges a $5 parking fee, which has been included in your registration to avoid any last-minute cash transactions on-site. The event is set amidst stunning natural scenery, where you can enjoy guided rides or demo sessions from bike manufacturers and local shops. Please note that all guided rides require pre-registration; if registering an under-18 participant, contact [email protected] with the child's name and preferred ride.
On Sunday, step up your adventure during the event’s vendor area open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., where you can explore the latest in cycling gear. The day includes various ride lengths suitable for all skill levels: beginner rides are approximately one hour long; intermediate rides last about an hour and a half; advanced intermediate rides offer between one and two hours of challenge, while advanced rides stretch beyond that.
Remember to bring your own water as none is available on-site. Overnight participants must adhere strictly to park regulations regarding food storage and cleanup to prevent attracting wildlife like bears. Keep your campsite clean, store all perishables in airtight containers away from view, and avoid cooking or eating inside tents.
Join us for JORBA Fest 2026 at Stephens State Park – where the trail is calling and adventure awaits!
