2026 marks a special milestone: the 10th anniversary of the campaign Take Care of Your Trails.
Over the past ten years, thousands of volunteers have shaped, repaired, and protected the trails we all love to ride. What began as a simple local initiative has grown into a full-fledged European movement celebrating the people behind our singletrack.
Today, as trail work becomes increasingly professional across Europe, we want to reiterate a key message: volunteering remains the beating heart of our community.
This edition is dedicated to you
Whether you picked up a shovel in 2017 or participated for the first time last year, the tenth edition is dedicated to:
- Your stories
- Your community
- The results you have built
- The concrete impact you continue to have on the territories
Share your story

Participate in May
During the month of May you will be able to:

No dig, no ride.
