Charity

The "Kansas City Trail Nerds" group is dedicated to having affordable and fun trail events, and it's our mission to add and maintain singletrack trail systems in an environmentally proactive and responsible manner. The Trail Nerds are part of the Kansas City Track Club, which is a federally recognized 501(c)3, not-for-profit corporation. Any proceeds leftover after race expenses are funneled back into trail advocacy activities and putting on even more fun and inexpensive (future) events.
