The 1st Annual Saxonathon
Saturday May 31, 2025 @ Saxon Hill, Essex VT
A ride-till-you-drop pledge drive event at Saxon Hill to raise funds for our trails

Ride bikes, raise funds!


How It Works
- Register to start a fundraiser (on your own, OR start or join a team), and raise funds ahead of time leading up to the event. Share with family, friends, and everyone, to support your massive effort. $150 minimum raised to join!
- Arrive at Saxon Hill on Saturday May 31st and RIDE BIKES ALL DAY. You can’t stop riding. You won’t stop riding. Collect your miles up and down the trails of Saxon Hill singletrack. Choose from our FOTW board-curated routes on Trailforks, (coming soon) or choose your own path. Bell to bell, ride as much as you possibly can, having as much fun as you can!
- Win prizes, and enjoy the good vibes! Awards will be presented for most miles ridden, biggest fundraiser, and more.

Help us reach our goal of $25,000!
The Fellowship of the Wheel will use all funds towards the building of new singletrack in our network, and repairs and maintenance of over 100 miles of your favorite trails.
