Community Trail Day at Cone Park
Please join us for a fun morning of trail work in preparation for the NICA league race. We’re all about community and supporting our local trail systems, and in this case, to help get more kids outside and active! Whether you have kids racing, or you just want to lend a hand to help support a great organization, this is a great opportunity to lend a hand and help.
Trail work will include mowing, trimming, and possibly some light tread work. We’ll have THOR staff on site to provide tools, guidance, and support. We’ll also have some light refreshments and snacks. We hope to see you there!
Location:
Cone Park, Sioux City, Iowa - Meet by the Cone Park Trail Center
