Take care of your trails

Take Action, Give Back!

Do you enjoy mountain biking on your amazing local trails? Want to make sure they stay that way? Well, we need your help! Take Care of Your Trails is our annual campaign to encourage and promote volunteer based trail maintenance events across Europe. During the month of May 2021, the campaign highlighedt all trail repair, clean-up and build efforts from trail crews and volunteers across Europe. The 2020 ‘covid’ edition of TCoYT resulted in 74 trail maintenance, building and clean-up events across 15 European countries. More than 750 volunteers contributed 6520 hours  of trail work to keep their local trails in shape and make them litter free. A great result given the circumstances and extra precautions that many local groups had to take to make their events safe and corona proof. In 2021, we registered even more actions and volunteers! We are super proud of the more than 1000(!) volunteers that devoted +6700 hours of volunteers. In total, 92 activities took place in 15 countries.  We, IMBA Europe, see great value in running another campaign in 2022. We believe as a community, we need to continue to move forward, and give back to the environment that allows us to enjoy our passion, mountain biking. From picking up trash on your local trails, to lending a hand on a ‘dig day’, all these actions help to maintain and secure the sustainability and future of mountain biking in our communities.
