Southern Illinois Fat Tire Festival (FTF) come join the FUN! One of the best MTB events and for 2020 one of the only MTB events in the entire MidWest! FTF 2020 goes down October 16-18, 2020 at Camp Ondessonk located in Ozark, Illinois right in the middle of the beautiful Shawnee National Forest. Yes, Rona has caused some changes to the event (read all about those here) but the event is still happening, and it will as fun as ever with some new safety precautions too.
We will have miles and miles of great riding with over 60 miles of trail this year. We have continued to build new trail this off-season and the latest includes a super fun downhill run just off heart attack hill. Tons of fun riding all weekend long with both guided and self-led adventures rolling out all day Friday and Saturday.
Great food from Chef Dru, cold drinks from New Belgium Brewing and Excel Bottling, prizes, music from the grotto both Friday and Saturday night, and who could forget the awesome treehouses. Join in on this awesome fall weekend outside with all your friends!
In 2019 we added the FTF All-In MTB race, with a bunch of riders toeing the line for fun, sweat, bragging rights and prizes, it’s of course coming back for 2020. The course has grown this year, and will incorporate a number of the new trails built over the last few years around CampO and the all-out FUN will be on tap too; it’s an awesome way to finish up Saturday’s riding.
