Great trail day at Guard of the Plains Trail. TCTA thanks our dedicated work crew. This was a collaborative effort with Wabaunsee County. Partnerships and alliances are critical for trail development. TCTA is committed to making surrounding tails the best for our community!!! Please join us for future trail work days and give back to the trails that you enjoy.

The Top City Trails Alliance (TCTA) continues to strengthen community bonds through its dedicated stewardship of local recreation, actively supporting major events this weekend in Topeka. TCTA partnered with Safe Kids Kansas and the Topeka Zoo for the annual Safe Kids Day providing crucial safety education and bike helmet fittings for 142 children. Concurrently, TCTA volunteers and members supported the local running community by assisting with the Top City Half Marathon running a water station to support participants. Thank you to our incredible members and volunteers who participated this weekend.

Please stay off the trails when they are muddy. This makes more work for our crews. Two riders were reported on the trails a day after the rain and have definitely left their damage. If we want nice trails we need to respect them. Thank you.
