West Kelowna Trail Crew Society

We want to thank the hard working and talented trail building crew at the WKTCS who build and maintain the trail in Rose Valley Regional Parks where we host the Nimble Bear Trail Race. 

Our annual Nimble Bear orientation runs raise funds to support WKTCS and their efforts in maintaining and building the spectacular trail networks in this area.  In 2017 we raised over $750 for WKTC.

We will also be hosting an annual trail maintenance day to help give back and pitch in some of the hard work that goes into maintaining these trails.  It's a wonderful way to get involved in your community and we can provide a letter for anyone who is collecting trail hours for seasonal races. 

Kootenay Columbia Trails Society

The Kootenay Columbia Trails Society is a registered, non-profit society, based in Rossland B.C., funded by and serving the communities of the Greater Trail region.

This incredible network of passionate and hard working individuals exist to manage, maintain and develop a regional network of recreational trails for a variety of self-propelled trail users.

Most of the trails are located on private property, and public access is only made possible by the generous cooperation of the landowners, who enter into insured agreements with the Society.

The KCTS relies on public funding, access to this private land, and professional management and maintenance to help support their efforts.

We are proud to give back to such a society that puts in endless maintenance hours every year and is so passionate about sharing their incredible mecca of trail networks. 

Thanks for sharing your backyard with us.
