The Beaver Dash Bash
The Beaver Dash Bash is the sixth annual fundraising event held at the Oakdale Trails in Lapeer, Michigan. The event combines single-track mountain bike racing with cross country running and ruck events, plus youth racing and a festival-style area with food and beverages.
Distances and races include:
- 11 Mile mountain bike single-track race
- 22 Mile mountain bike single-track race
- 5k cross country running race
- 5k cross country ruck race
- 1 Mile youth MTB race (age 3-8)

The event includes niche cycling categories such as Class 1 E-Bike, Fat Tire, Single Speed, and Elite Open. Races are timed by Newton Timing & Race Services. Awards are given for first through third place in each timed MTB category and overall male and female for both the 5k run and the ruck; youth participants receive participation medals and ruck participants receive a patch.
Non-timed features include a craft beer tent with cornhole boards, food trucks, an outdoor expo, and a disc golf hole-in-one challenge. Event merchandise is offered for sale. All event proceeds are designated for the Friends of Oakdale Trails to support access, maintenance, and improvements. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
