From epic outdoor adventures and breathtaking stunts to incredible live music and vibrant festival vibes, Dominion Energy Riverrock is a feast for the senses—and now’s your chance to showcase it through your lens.

MTB Time Trial: Kick off the weekend with a Friday evening ride! This MTB time trial event will have each participant going off in 1 minute intervals. It is you versus the clock, are you ready? MTB Enduro: The James River Park trails will give local mountain bikers and visiting riders alike a chance to test their skills. The rock gardens, short steep climbs, creek crossings, fast downhills, and twisty single-track trails are both technically challenging and physically demanding. Riders will complete stages at Dogwood Dell, Forest Hill Park, and Belle Isle for a total of 6-8 timed miles. The transition stages (the riding required to get from one stage to the next) are not timed and do not count toward standings. Pedal hard when it counts and take it easy on the in-betweens.
