Sedona MTB Festival

Women’s Specific Offerings Clinics

November 6-8, 2026

Join Sedona Mountain Bike Academy for women’s mountain bike clinics offered during the Sedona MTB Festival, our favorite weekend of the year. This is mountain biking at its best: riding in Sedona’s iconic red rocks, connecting with fellow riders, and building skills in a supportive, women-focused environment.

 

Led by our team of highly certified female instructors, these women’s-only MTB clinics are designed to help riders build confidence, improve technique, and have more fun on the trail. Each clinic includes expert instruction, skill development, a guided on-trail ride tied directly to the clinic topic, personalized coaching in a small group setting, and follow-up support with photos and homework for continued progression.
