MadKahuna Rides Into Stray Fest 2026

There was no countdown. No grand opening ceremony. Just engines warming up, the smell of damp earth, and riders easing onto the trail one by one. That’s how Stray Fest begins, and honestly, no other introduction would have fit.

If you’ve never been to Mt. Lawad Adventure Park, it’s the kind of place that makes you forget you had anywhere else to be. The trails wind through terrain that demands your full attention. The air feels cleaner than anything you’ll breathe in the city. And somehow, the higher you go, the lighter everything feels. By the time you reach the first crest, the stress you brought with you is already gone.

That’s exactly where Stray Moto Co. chose to hold Stray Fest this year. And anyone who showed up on April 18 and 19 would agree, it was the right call. There’s something about riding through terrain like that, with people who understand it, that turns a simple weekend into something you carry with you long after.

Over two days, the park became a temporary home. Riders from different backgrounds shared the same muddy tracks, the same rest stops, and the same kind of exhaustion that somehow feels good. It’s the kind that leads to long conversations. The kind where time slips by unnoticed. By the end of it, strangers feel like people you’ve known for years.

That’s what makes this event different. It reminds you why you ride in the first place. It also reminds you why communities like this matter. In a world that rarely slows down, this was a chance to pause, reconnect, and just be present.

MadKahuna was proud to support Stray Fest as an event sponsor this year. Supporting something this real, a gathering built on passion, community, and the rawness of the trail, is exactly the kind of story worth being part of.
