2025 D.C./Baltimore Metro
Adaptive Mountain Biking
Catalyst Sports was proud to partner with Friends of Patapsco Valley State Park; Montgomery County Parks; M-NCPPC, Department of Parks and Recreation, Prince George’s County; and Mid Atlantic Off-Road Enthusiasts to bring four weekends of Adaptive Mountain Biking to the DC Metro Area! These March 2025 rides were a great success & we look forward to launching a fulltime aMTB program in the area. Stay tuned for updates & more rides coming to your area in 2025!
Please contact Marty@CatalystSports.org with aMTB questions with the DC/Baltimore Metro Chapter
Be a Part of our Future!
This initiative is more than just a ride—it's the first step in building a sustainable Adaptive Mountain Bike (aMTB) community in the DC Metro area. Catalyst Sports plans to use this 2025 programming to recruit riders and train volunteers with the goal of launching regular aMTB programming in 2026.
We are actively looking for sponsors and partners to help make this vision a reality. If you or your organization want to support the growth of adaptive mountain biking in the region, we’d love to connect with you! Please reach out to Kirby@catalystsports.org explore how you can help!
But Wait! There's more 2025 aMTB Rides!
