Event Application

Host Your Event at Redhead Mountain Bike Park

We are thrilled to welcome races, gatherings, and special events to Redhead Mountain Bike Park! To ensure a safe and successful experience for your participants and our community, please review the event guidelines and safety protocols below.

Application & Site Requirements

  • Event applications must be submitted at least 14 business days prior to your event date.

  • A mandatory site plan is required for all events, which should include a site layout, route map, and indicate the specific trails the event will utilize.

  • A portion of Redhead Mountain Bike Park must remain open to the public at all times, so you cannot utilize all trails for a single event.

  • The Minnesota Discovery Center (MDC) provides a public shuttle service. If your event requires the park's main entrance to be closed to the public, the event organizer must cover the cost of this shuttle service.

  • The Event Application can be accessed by clicking the "Event Application" button located at the top of this page.

  • Please submit your completed Event Application, or direct any questions regarding the form, to cluke@ci.chisholm.mn.us.

Insurance & Fees

  • Organizers must provide a comprehensive general liability certificate of insurance prior to the event, naming the City of Chisholm as an additional insured.

  • This insurance policy must have a limit of $1,500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage.

  • Failure to submit the required certificate of insurance prior to the event will result in cancellation.

  • A $100 refundable damage and cleanup deposit is required for events.

  • The City offers rental equipment for events, including 95-gallon garbage cans for $8.00, 300-gallon garbage cans for $24.00, traffic cones for $2.00 each, and 8-foot barricades for $5.00 each.

Park Safety & Emergency Protocols

  • The park is officially closed during rain events, lightning or electrical storms, high winds, inclement weather posing a risk, and active mine blasts in the area.

  • For any serious trauma, missing rider, structural failure, or situation where a user cannot self-rescue, call 911 immediately.

  • Please note that calling 911 or having EMS assess an injury does not automatically result in a bill; no ambulance fee is charged unless the individual is physically transported to a hospital.

  • If you are organizing a large event, you must notify the City of Chisholm (in the Event Application) if your event requires an ambulance crew to ensure appropriate staffing.

  • To ensure the comfort and safety of all event organizers and participants, a complete copy of our Redhead Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is available by clicking the button below.
