About TKMBD

IMBA's Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day (TKMBD) is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in October. Created in 2004 and recognized by US Congress, TKMBD introduces the joy of mountain biking to the next generation. Hundreds of thousands of youth have discovered and celebrated the joy of pedaling two wheels on dirt at TKMBD events. Many have gone on to become passionate riders, volunteer trail advocates, and even high school mountain bike racers.

Join the Crew: Volunteer with FAST at Legacy Park!

Join Falls Area SingleTrack (FAST) on September 7th at 8 a.m. for our upcoming Trail Dig event, led by the experienced trail builder Adam Weischedel. Together, we’ll work to reclaim and enhance our beloved trails, ensuring they remain safe and enjoyable for all users.

What We'll Do:

• Reclaim the Hill: We'll be tilling or scoring the tread, followed by raking and packing to restore the trail's integrity.

• Restore Legacy West: Not all areas have succumbed to overgrowth, so we'll reclaim these sections with tilling, scoring, raking, and packing to keep the trail in top shape.

• Install Signage: Help us improve trail navigation and safety by installing new signs along the route.

What to Bring:

• Please wear closed-toe shoes for safety.

• Gloves and water to stay hydrated and protected.

• Dress appropriately for outdoor work, and don't forget to bring your energy and enthusiasm!

Where to Meet: Meet us at the Legacy Park parking lot off 12th Street to kick off the session.

Why Join? Your participation helps us maintain and enhance the trails that make Sioux Falls a great place for outdoor adventures. Plus, it’s a chance to connect with fellow trail lovers and give back to the community.

We look forward to seeing you out on the trails on September 7th!
