Trail Building
Design and construct sustainable, fun trails that minimize environmental impact and maximize rider experience.
About Tarheel Trailblazers
Building mountain bike trails and community since 1990.
Our Mission
The Tarheel Trailblazers exist to create, maintain and protect access to a wide variety of mountain bike trails and bike parks across the Metro Charlotte region, improving the quality of life for everyone who lives here.
We do this by:
- Protecting, improving and maintaining the numerous trail systems available for our use in and around Metro-Charlotte.
- Being the voice of advocacy for Mountain Bikers.
- Continuously looking for new locations to develop trail systems in and around Metro-Charlotte.
- Providing a source of information on rides and other activities related to Mountain Biking.
Since 1990 the club has worked to develop over 175 miles of carefully constructed, sustainable trails and bike parks. Our volunteers work directly with local land managers as the advocacy group for all local mountain bikers and trail users.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, sustained by members and donations.
