We opened up a brand new section of trail in Hartley Park today! This trail splits off of the New Tunnel trail providing a true green level option for riders between the pond and the beginner skills area around the Pines. A huge thanks to One Track Mind Foundation, CCMI Summer Youth Corps and WisCorps helping to make this happen!

Join Race Across Duluth in a day of giving back to the trails!

You may recall from last year's race, an unexpected afternoon rain storm swept through the MIssion Creek area and put a hurt on the trails as the day came to a close. We're excited to be teaming up on some trail improvements that'll help make the trails more resilient to handle the RAD for years to come!

We'll be working on the 'Valley West' segment of the Duluth Traverse with a few important projects on tap:
- Rerouting a segment of trail away from a steep, muddy, and heavily eroded hillside
- Constructing a new bridge
- Repairing and re-shaping other areas of the trail that have seen some damage

The areas we will be working on are about a mile back into the woods, so let's make it a bike to work day! Bring your bike and it'll be a short and sweet commute down the trails to access the work site. We'll meet at the Old Mission Creek Parkway entrance along Highway 210, which is about 1.5 miles west of Chambers Grove. Look for some orange cones marking the spot.

All tools provided, and no prior trail work experience is necessary to make a difference! We hope you can join us.

See you there!
