Subject: Important Announcement: JORBA Fest 2026 Cancellation
Dear JORBA Community, Riders, Volunteers, and Friends,
It is with a heavy heart that we are announcing the cancellation of JORBA Fest 2026 (including overnight camping).
We have been closely monitoring the incoming weekend forecast for Stephens State Park. With heavy rain (~0.5”- 1.0”), embedded thunderstorms, and the risk of severe weather rolling into the area, safety must come first for our riders, volunteers, instructors, and vendors.
Beyond rider safety, protecting the trails we love is central to our mission as trail advocates.
What Happens Next:
- Registrations: Information regarding refunds or credits for registered participants will be emailed out shortly.
- Trail Conditions: Please remember to give Stephens State Park—and your local trail systems—sufficient time to dry out after the storm passes before heading back out on two wheels.
We are deeply grateful for all the hard work our volunteers, sponsors, and community members put into planning this event. While weather isn’t something we can control, our commitment to supporting the New Jersey mountain biking community remains unshakeable.
Thank you for your understanding, support, and dedication to keeping our trails healthy and sustainable. We look forward to seeing you all out on the trails again very soon!
Warmly,
The JORBA Team
Jersey Off Road Bicycle Association
