Dawg Days of Summer 2026

Dawg Days of Summer is BACK! Join us on Sunday, August 2nd, for an action packed mountain bike race JUST FOR KIDS and help support the Dirt Dawg's largest fundraiser of the year :-) 

This year is extra special because it is the Dawg Days of Summer's 10th anniversary! Come celebrate a decade of fun, community, and young riders hitting the trails. 

We will have multiple divisions and courses designed for a variety of skill and endurance levels, so there is something for everyone. There also will be a strider (bikes without pedals) race available for our littlest racers. This 15-20 minute race will be at the base of the ski hill for maximum visibility and cheers..don't miss out! 

Cannonsburg will have food, refreshing beverages, and plenty of ice cream, so feel free to bring the whole family and invite your friends for a full day of fun. Beyond the races, you can enjoy bouncy houses, a silent auction, games, an exciting duck race, and so much more. We can't wait to see you there!
