$14,400 for the Trails: 2026 Trail Builder's Bash
Crew Volunteers selling raffle tickets and leis at the Trail Builder’s Bash in 2026.
What happens when a whole bunch of people who love Cuyuna show up for the trails?
$14,400 raised.
The 2026 Trail Builder's Bash brought riders, volunteers, businesses, sponsors, and supporters together in Crosby for one big night celebrating the trails and the community behind them.
There was live music from David Huckfelt, a stacked raffle and silent auction, Helmets & Saddles, food, drinks, and plenty of familiar and new faces filling Trailside Tavern Alley.
But the biggest story of the night wasn't any one raffle prize or auction item. It was how many people showed up and contributed in their own way.
Some volunteered. Some donated incredible prizes. Some bought a $5 raffle ticket. Some bid on an auction item. Some played Helmets & Saddles. Some simply came downtown and joined the party.
It all mattered.
Together, we raised $14,400 for the Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Crew, directly supporting trail maintenance, tools and equipment, volunteer programs, stewardship, and the future of Cuyuna's trails.
That's what the Trail Builder's Bash is all about. A lot of people giving what they can and showing up for a place they care about.
To every sponsor, donor, business, volunteer, rider, and community member who made the night possible, thank you for showing up for the trails.
We'll do it again June 19, 2027.
