MCC International Women Riders' Congress

The MCC International Women Riders’ Congress and Festival is scheduled to take place August 11 – 15 at Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Ontario.

Presented by Honda, this is the inaugural debut for the Candian event. Other sponsors include Open Road, BMW, Arai and Harley-Davidson. Endorsed by the AMA, MCC, FEMA, Motor Maids and MRF among other organizations, the event has generated enthusiasm among women motorcyclists and organizations that support them. Tigra Tsujikawa from the American Motorcyclist Association says “Women motorcyclists are a vibrant and surging segment of modern motorcycling, and all interested riders should attend this dynamic gathering at the Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Ontario”.

Chrysalis, a shelter for women and children in Huntsville, has been selected as the event charity.

The theme of the the August event is “One World, One Ride”. According to the IWCF, the festival plans to celebrate the achievements of women riders from across Canada and around the world. There will also be opportunities to enhance rider safety and enjoyment through skills training and educational seminars. With a focus on common ground, creating synergy and reinforcing women riders as leaders and role models, the vision of the IWCF is to continue making a positive difference in our motorcycling community and beyond. The festival promises to be both educational and entertaining – with networking opportunities, organized tours, a charity trail ride, skills challenges, demo rides and vendors - something for both novice and experienced riders from all disciplines of riding.

US residents will need a current passport to cross the border.
