Looking forward to another year Marquette Trails Festival 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

James Musil, a passionate mountain bike racer who frequented our races, tragically passed away in 2022 after an accident downstate on the trails.
The James Musil Memorial Foundation is a non-profit organization created to honor James and his love for biking, raise funds to give back to the trails, and promote youth biking and safety.
His wife, Stephanie, will have a booth set up at Marquette Trails Fest to share more information about the foundation. Make sure to stop by and say hi. jamesmusilmemorialfoundation.org

There’s nothing better than seeing families out on the trails together 💜

Moments like this are exactly why the James Musil Memorial Foundation continues to support trail features that make riding more accessible for all levels.

From first rides to full family trail days—this is what it’s about.

A big thank you to for helping bring these features to life and creating spaces where riders of all abilities can feel confident getting out there.

Thank you for .marie.l sharing your experience with us - we love seeing the trails being enjoyed the way they were meant to be.

The season always seems to begin here…

The Rust Shaker.
Early miles, cool air, nervous energy at the start line—
and that quiet reminder of why we do this in the first place.

For the James Musil Memorial Foundation, this race isn’t just the start of a season—it’s the beginning of another year of showing up.
For the trails.
For the riders.
For the community that continues to carry so much meaning.

Every lap, every rider, every moment out there—it all connects back to something bigger.

Here’s to a new season. One built on passion, purpose, and the trails that brought us all together.

The trails have carried us through another year — a year of laughter, grit, connection, and healing.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the James Musil Memorial Foundation tent — not just today at the Iceman Expo, but all season long. Each visit, each story, each donation helps keep the trails — and this community — moving forward.

Every cent we raise goes right back into the dirt, shaping the trails that shape us.

Here’s to 2026: new lines to carve, new hands to help, and new ways to give back to the places that give us so much.
