We schedule trail workdays throughout the year to build new trail or maintain existing trails. These workdays offer volunteers the opportunity to invest into our trail designs and for land owners to benefit from our sustainable approach.

Featured event
Trail Kids Clinic - Learning to bike off-road
Join TORC and sponsor Oaks & Spokes for a special event designed to help kids learn the fundamentals of off-road bike riding. This two-hour clinic engages participants through structured instruction in small groups, led by experienced coaches who group riders by similar age and skill level. Snacks, break time, and fun games will be included throughout the session. Kids will build confidence, improve bike handling skills, and have fun exploring the basics of trail riding in a safe and supportive environment.
Participants must be between ages 7–12 (typically 2nd–5th grade). Children should already be able to balance and pedal independently. Riders must bring a properly fitting youth bike with 20-inch wheels or larger and functioning hand brakes and a helmet.
Location: Spring Hill Cyclocross Course at NCSU
