The Program

Trail Blazers is an 8-week program for 3rd–5th graders that blends on and off-bike games, trail exploration, and mentorship. It’s not about racing—it’s about building confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love of the outdoors. Each session emphasizes play and connection while building real-world bike skills.

A Successful First Season!

Trail Blazers launched fall 2025 with weekly sessions every Tuesday from 5–7 PM at Baker Creek Preserve, running September through October. This inaugural season started a new tradition of fun, adventure, and community on two wheels. We had a blast and look forward to many more Trail Blazers seasons in our future!

Program cost

$175 – includes all sessions, games, mentorship, and a Trail Blazers t-shirt.

Thanks to our supporters

Trail Blazers wouldn’t exist without the inspiration and support of other incredible programs. We’re proud to follow in the tire tracks of Appalachian Youth Cycling (AYC), Little Bellas, and especially the Trail Rangers developed by Georgia Cycling Association, which served as the foundation for our approach. We’re grateful to all those who’ve helped us bring this vision to Knoxville’s youth.

Special thanks to NorthSouth Productions, Hearst, Clayton Homes, and the many generous private donors whose support makes this program possible.
