It’s time to register your kiddos for our Fall 2026 Trail Blazers season!
Trail Blazers is an 8-week program for 3rd–5th graders that blends on and off-bike games, trail exploration, and mentorship. Sessions will be 5 to 7 pm every Tuesday from Sep 8 through Nov 3 (except Oct 6). We’re offering the program at Baker Creek and Concord, and we expect to have full programs at both locations — so be sure to sign up ASAP!
Want to get $15 off Trail Blazers registration? Get an AMBC Family Membership at AMBCKnox.org/Join, and be sure to download the SORBA app to access all member benefits including our Trail Blazers discount. (One discount per family.) Do this before you register for Trail Blazers to get the discount!
We don’t want anyone to miss out on Trail Blazers. If your family needs financial assistance or gear assistance for the program, please email [email protected] to discuss your family’s needs.
We also need volunteers to help our programs run smoothly! Volunteering with Trail Blazers is an absolute BLAST and gives you the opportunity to share the love of trails and mountain biking with some of our youngest trail users! Register to volunteer here.
