From Pottstown to Frackville, challenges like storm damage, sinkholes, and fallen trees can pop up at any time, often requiring us to shift resources away from creating new trail experiences. That’s where the Stewardship Fund comes in. This dedicated fund will help us respond quickly to maintenance needs, tackle major repairs, and care for the trail in ways that grants and memberships don’t always cover. With your support, we can ensure the trails you love are ready for race day—and every day.
