UWF Trails: The Long Road to Recovery

If you’ve been wondering about the condition of the trails at UWF following the hurricane, the reality is that we have a long road ahead of us.

In many places, there is no recognizable trail left. Downed trees and debris have buried the trail beneath them, and our volunteers are working through it just 30–60 feet at a time. We’re slowly piecing together a small loop of roughly 1–2 miles, but that’s only the beginning.

Our volunteers are putting in hours of their own time, sweat, and hard work to bring these trails back. We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who has already stepped up to help. This is going to take a community effort, and recovery will take time.

Want to help? Here’s how you can get involved:

🌲 Volunteer: We don’t have set volunteer workdays scheduled right now, but we can connect you directly with our trail crew volunteers to coordinate opportunities to help. Email [email protected] to get connected.

💚 Donate: Every contribution helps PORC maintain and rebuild the trail systems our community enjoys. If you’re able to support the recovery financially, you can donate here:
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=CH6DVQ53AFA7Q

📸 Document the work: If you’re putting in volunteer hours, please record your time at https://www.porc.org/log-hours. If possible, take photos of the area before and after your work. These help us document the effort going into recovery and show the community the progress being made.

PORC is a volunteer-powered nonprofit, and the trails don’t rebuild themselves. Every helping hand and every contribution makes a difference.

We’ll keep sharing updates as the work progresses. Thank you to everyone who has already stepped up and to the community for your continued support.

We’ll get there, one section at a time.

Ride for Tacos! This sunday it's time to explore Blackwater with all our friends. 30 mile route is up. Go download it and load onto a device before heading out. There will be no water stops. We will ride as a group at a party pace which will include regrouping, it's a social ride. Plan to hangout after the ride, bring a chair, cool off in the creek, and enjoy some delicious grub.

What an incredible day at the 2nd Annual Down Country XDuro (XC Enduro) brought to you by Pensacola Off-Road ! Huge thanks to everyone who came out to race, cheer, and hang out. The vibe at the trails was unbeatable, and it was awesome seeing so many smiling faces pushing hard across the stages.

Putting on a grassroots event like this takes a village, and we could not have done it without our volunteers running start/finish gates and keeping things rolling. A massive special shout-out goes to Gary and Ted for their tireless work all summer keeping these trails mowed, cleared, and running fast. The chili was fantastic, a big shout out to Brandon for always feeding us.

A Quick Note on Timing & Results:

As announced on course, Stage 2 times were scrapped due to route issues, so overall totals reflect Stages 1, 3, 4, and 5. Remember, this is low-tech, volunteer-run stop-watch timing—it’s not 100% chip-accurate, but it captures the spirit of friendly trail competition!

Top Overall Finishers (Recorded Times):

1st: Plate #1 – 21:11

2nd: Plate #7 – 27:37

3rd: Plate #15 – 37:00

4th: Plate #50 – 38:55

5th: Plate #9 – 39:57

(Full timing breakdown across all segments is attached below!)

We’ve already gathered some fantastic rider feedback and are already brainstorming improvements for year three. Thank you all for supporting local trails and community racing. See you next year!

Fun local event at our Muscogee Mountain Bike Trails FL coming up next month. Check it out.
