Tarheel Trailblazers is a volunteer-driven nonprofit founded in 1990 that builds, maintains, protects, and advocates for mountain bike trails across the Charlotte region.
With over 675 members, the organization supports more than 175 miles of trail across over 20 trail systems, working with local parks departments, land managers, municipalities, and private landowners to keep trails open, sustainable, and accessible.
At its core, Tarheel Trailblazers exists because trails do not build or maintain themselves. Volunteers clear downed trees, repair erosion, improve drainage, build new features, advocate for access, and help make sure the Charlotte region continues to have quality outdoor spaces as the area grows.
