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 highlighted all trail repair, clean-up and build efforts from trail crews and volunteers across Europe.
In 2021 92 activities took place in 15 EU countries with more than 1000 volunteers contributing 6700+ hours of volunteer work. A big THANK YOU to all trail crews, local heroes, partners and sponsors that contributed to the 2021 campaign! We at 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.

Awards
We decided to mix things up a bit in 2021 and get creative with our awards. Given the differing situations across Europe due to Covid restrictions, we understood big events were not a possibility, and therefore wanted every crew to have the opportunity to get involved, and also have a chance at winning an award. Building on from the momentum of 2021, in 2022 we will be honouring crews under the following award categories.
- Protect and preserve– The crew with the best conservation effort
- Best Mountain bike community- The crew who presents as being the most inclusive, innovative and impactful.
- Best national trail association– The organisation who is leading the way in trail advocacy work, community and capacity building int their nation.
- Trail advocate of the year– The person who goes above and beyond for their local trails
Want to be in the running for this years awards? Then get ahead of the pack and start planning now! Tap into some creativity and think how you and your crew can go bigger and better than previous editions.
